Properly parse metadata of custom Kubernetes objects

[schrodit]

Partially fixed #852 by adding a helper Seriliazer.
That serializer is aware of Kubernetes objects and parses them accordingly to a valid KubernetesObject (before some types were wrongly parsed e.g. creationTimestamp was a string instead of a Date).

Supporting custom objects will follow in a separate PR.
But the idea is that there will be a second map in the new Serializer were custom objects can be added at runtime.

Great work - only a couple of nitpicks.

I think we should port this over to release-1.x as well so that we will have it in the next major release as well.

Whats the process here?
Do I just open another PR for the release-1.x branch?

[mstruebing]

Yes exactly, otherwise these changes will be lost once we release the new client without the request library as a replacement for the current master. You can probably reuse most of the code you've created in this PR.

Your changes looking good from my point of view - will just wait a bit for @brendandburns to have a look as well probably.

Looks good to me also.

Once this merges, you can cherry-pick this against the release-1.x branch, but it may require reworking.

Looks like this is failing linting. Please fix to match our style guide.
