"minikube get-k8s-versions" does not include 1.9.6

[podviaznikov]

Bug report:

I can't use version k8s 1.9.6 with minikube 0.28.2(latest).
Because I can only have version 1.9.4 I see problem with subpath - #2642

Environment:

Minikube version (use minikube version):

• OS (e.g. from /etc/os-release): 0.28.2

I don't remember what's the meaning of the version list (if it's only for supported releases that went through more testing) but you can try to specify 1.9.6 directly anyway and the bootstrapping code will figure out what to do:

$ minikube version
minikube version: v0.28.2

$ minikube start --kubernetes-version=v1.9.6

@tstromberg : this is not a bug, minikube didn't build localkube for 1.9.6 on purpose...
It was possible to build it yourself, but then you had to hack the version list: #2368

Since localkube is removed, this particular issue should probably be closed as well.
