Description

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Sometimes due to a deployment mistake old worker can connect to a production cluster. This can cause all sorts of issues.
Sometimes it can take a long time to locate and shutdown such a worker.

Describe the solution you'd like
Provide an operator API to blacklist workers that have a specific version from connecting, as well as blacklist specific workers by their identity string. We should consider other properties like IP address ranges.
