Proposal for new kubecfg design (kubectl)

***UPDATE: This proposal was reworked many times throughout this PR. I am keeping this parent message the same for historical purposes, but you can find the closest description of the final design in [this comment](https://github.com/GoogleCloudPlatform/kubernetes/pull/1325#issuecomment-57416174) (with the exception that `inspect` became `describe`).***

### Intent

The intent of this pull request is to propose a design for the present and future of kubecfg. The conversation from #1167 was the primary input into this design. The idea is to have kubecfg solve two use cases:

1. Provide a great user experience to view the current status of a Kubernetes cluster and to execute simple commands on the cluster.
1. Provide a tool which will accept configuration with generic resources to submit changes to and diff against a Kubernetes cluster.

The problem with the current design is that it is too generic to effectively support (1). The proposed redesign enables custom commands per resource (e.g. kubecfg pods, kubecfg services, etc.) but generic subcommands to satisfy (2) (kubecfg submit, kubecfg diff, kubecfg reconcile, etc.).

### Proposed set of subcommands

*Only a subset of these have been implemented in the attached commit.*

* `kubecfg2` - Parent command.
  * `pods`
    * `list [<id>]` - List pods in a column-oriented view (see [Examples](#examples) below). By default, the first argument passed in acts as a filter by ID.
    * `get <id>` - List info about a pod in a row-oriented view. Designed to show more metadata about a given pod, and over time can be enhanced to make navigating the cluster from a given pod very easy. Currently I'm adding a list of any replication controllers whose selectors match (and therefore who control) the selected pod.
    * `delete <id>` - Delete a pod.
    * `create [-f <filename>]` - In the future we can accept directories or even data from stdin.
  * `rc` - For replication controllers. Happy to use a different abbreviation but replicationControllers seemed too long.
    * `list [<id>]`
    * `get <id>` - RC's `get` command could become extremely rich. For now I've added Pods Status which queries for pods under this replication controller and shows counts for running, waiting and terminated, but in the future you could do diffs against the controller's PodTemplate and show counts for matching and non-matching pods. You could also show the first 3-4 pod ID's per category and then show &lt;X more ...&gt;, making debugging even easier.
    * `create [-f <filename>]`
    * `update [-f <filename>]`
    * `delete <id>` - I have removed the delete/stop/rm replication controller confusion in favor of just `delete` and `resize`, where delete takes an optional --force flag if replicas > 0.
    * `resize <id> <replicas>`
    * *Removed* `rollingupdate <controller> <image> <time>` - I've included this here for parity but I would like to propose taking it out. This is the one command that I don't think belongs in kubecfg ... it's too long-running, fraught with edge cases, and in reality would probably want to take more into consideration (like fluctuations in metrics, % of pods that come up successfully, etc.). I think this level of functionality belongs in an independent client that uses the API that can look at more components in the infrastructure than just kubernetes.
  * `minions`
    * `list [<id>]`
    * `get <id>`
  * `services`
    * `list [<id>]`
    * `get <id>`
    * `create [-f <filename>]`
    * `update [-f <filename>]`
    * `delete <id>`
    * *Postponed* `resolve <id>` - Just an idea, but it could give you a random IP/port combination to connect to. May be useful for quickly locating a node to test for a given service.
  * *Postponed* `submit [<filename>...]` - This command exists to satisfy the second use case above. Reconcile and submit any changes from a given set of config(s), from files or from stdin. If you had an entire directory tree of files that had configs that represented your cluster state, you could use this command to submit them all to either create or update your cluster.
  * *Postponed* `diff [<filename>...]` - A dry-run version of `submit`.
  * `run [-p <port spec>] <image> <replicas> <controller>` - Same as today.

### Other notes

* I am currently using [spf13/cobra](https://github.com/spf13/cobra) but am also considering [codegangsta/cli](https://github.com/codegangsta/cli). The latter may allow us to write out the command definitions in a cleaner way and support bash autocompletion, but the former allows persistent flags. Open to using either one.
* Some of these commands (especially `get` commands that show a lot of info) may result in lots of queries to the server. There are several ways to handle this: (1) don't consider it an issue, (2) offer a "succinct mode" that tries to do as little as possible and (3) over time backport functionality that is particularly useful directly into apiserver as new API endpoints. Especially with (3), you could consider kubecfg a proving ground for new convenience functionality to see whether it's worth implementing in apiserver directly.

### File layout

* cmd/kubecfg2/kubecfg2.go - All cobra and CLI-related code remains in this file/package.
* pkg/kubecfg2/&lt;subcommand&gt;.go - All logic per subcommand lives in one file per subcommand.
* pkg/kubecfg2/kubecfg2.go - Common functions used by cmd/kubecfg2 and pkg/kubecfg2 packages.

### Open Questions
* Can we leave rollingupdate out of this version for the merge? If it's needed for demo purposes, can it be reimplemented somewhere outside of this tool?
* @erictune pointed out that `get` is not the best name for above. `info` and `details` are other options but ideas here are welcome.

Yes. If we follow through with @smarterclayton's idea to make the creation of these commands more standardized and composable, we will pull out things like these long-help strings and embedded functions and make a cleaner way to define commands. I'll make an issue to track that refactoring.
