resources: kv: Add new KV resource which sets key value pairs

This is a new resource for setting key value pairs in our global world
database. Currently only etcd is supported. Some of the implications and
possibilities of this resource will become more obvious with future
commits!

You can bother/test this resource with these commands:

ETCDCTL_API=3 etcdctl get "/_mgmt/strings/" --prefix=true
ETCDCTL_API=3 etcdctl put "/_mgmt/strings/KEY/HOSTNAME" 42

Replace the KEY and HOSTNAME variables with the actual values you'd like
to use. The 42 is the value that is set.

Hostname is the fallback value for all 3 fields above, if only `hostname` is
specified, it will set all 3 fields to this value.
### KV
The KV resource sets a key and value pair in the global world database. This is
quite useful for setting a flag after a number of resources have run. It will
ignore database updates to the value that are greater in compare order than the
requested key if the `SkipLessThan` parameter is set to true. If we receive a
refresh, then the stored value will be reset to the requested value even if the
stored value is greater.
#### Key
The string key used to store the key.
#### Value
The string value to set. This can also be set via Send/Recv.
#### SkipLessThan
If this parameter is set to `true`, then it will ignore updating the value as
long as the database versions are greater than the requested value. The compare
operation used is based on the `SkipCmpStyle` parameter.
#### SkipCmpStyle
By default this converts the string values to integers and compares them as you
would expect.
### Msg
The msg resource sends messages to the main log, or an external service such
