The graph of dependencies in golang is a DAG, and as such doesn't allow
cycles. Clean up this lib so that it eventually doesn't import our
resources module or anything else which might want to import it.
This patch makes adjacency private, and adds a generalized key store to
the graph struct.
This is required if we're going to have out of package resources. In
particular for third party packages, and also for if we decide to split
out each resource into a separate sub package.
Resources can send "refresh" notifications along edges. These messages
are sent whenever the upstream (initiating vertex) changes state. When
the changed state propagates downstream, it will be paired with a
refresh flag which can be queried in the CheckApply method of that
resource.
Future work will include a stateful refresh tracking mechanism so that
if a refresh event is generated and not consumed, it will be saved
across an interrupt (shutdown) or a crash so that it can be re-applied
on the subsequent run. This is important because the unapplied refresh
is a form of hysteresis which needs to be tracked and remembered or we
won't be able to determine that the state is wrong!
Still to do:
* Update the autogrouping code to handle the edge notify properties!
* Actually finish the stateful bool code
This ineffassign didn't seem to cause problems, but perhaps we didn't
exhaustively test all the areas.
Watch out to make sure this doesn't break any of the sync requirements,
eg: "A WaitGroup must not be copied after first use."

This is a monster patch that splits out the yaml and puppet based graph
generation and pushes them behind a common API. In addition alternate
pluggable GAPI's can be easily added! The important side benefit is that
you can now write a custom GAPI for embedding mgmt!
This also includes some slight clean ups that I didn't find it worth
splitting into separate patches.
This makes this logically more separate! :) As an aside...
I really hate the way golang does dependencies and packages. Yes, some
people insist on nesting their code deep into a $GOPATH, which is fine
if you're a google dev and are forced to work this way, but annoying for
the rest of the world. Your code shouldn't need a git commit to switch
to a a different vcs host! Gah I hate this so much.
