Proposed changes
CustomResources do not support JSON strategic merges on patch updates.
Instead, they require a JSON 3-way merge patch to properly apply the patch.
CustomResource kinds now are treated separately from other known k8s kinds in
order to apply the proper patch.
A new CoreOS prometheus-operator test with a step update is included to validate this update path.
