This minimizes the number of functions generated. It also breaks the chain of
symbol dependencies to pkg/conversion, so we can remove now-unreferenced
(previously unused but referenced) conversion deep-copies.
This drives most of the logic of deep-copy generation from tags like:
// +deepcopy-gen=package
..rather than hardcoded lists of packages. This will make it possible to
subsequently generate code ONLY for packages that need it *right now*, rather
than all of them always.
Also remove pkgs that really do not need deep-copies (no symbols used
anywhere).
The codec factory should support two distinct interfaces - negotiating
for a serializer with a client, vs reading or writing data to a storage
form (etcd, disk, etc). Make the EncodeForVersion and DecodeToVersion
methods only take Encoder and Decoder, and slight refactoring elsewhere.
In the storage factory, use a content type to control what serializer to
pick, and use the universal deserializer. This ensures that storage can
read JSON (which might be from older objects) while only writing
protobuf. Add exceptions for those resources that may not be able to
write to protobuf (specifically third party resources, but potentially
others in the future).
