add kubectl can-i to see if you can perform an action

Adds `kubectl auth can-i <verb> <resource> [<name>]` so that a user can see if they are allowed to perform an action.

@kubernetes/sig-cli-pr-reviews @fabianofranz 

This particular command satisfies the immediate need of knowing if you can perform an action without trying that action.  When using RBAC in a script that is adding permissions, there is a lag between adding the permission and the permission being realized in the RBAC cache.  As a user on the CLI, you almost never see it, but as a script adding a binding and then using that new power, you hit it quite often.

There are natural follow-ons to the same area (hence the `auth` subcommand) to figure out if someone else can perform an action, what actions you can perform in total, and who can perform a given action.  Someone else is an API we have already, what-can-i-do was a proposed API a while back and a very useful one for interfaces, and who-can is common question if someone is administering a namespace.
