GSOC - Add Support for Custom Resource Definitions to the Dashboard

Progress tracker for my GSoC project for CNCF & Kubernetes - Add Support for Custom Resource Definitions to the Dashboard.

To easier track the progress, I've created a public Trello board where I'll be providing regular progress updates.

Abstract

The Kubernetes dashboard previously supported Third Party Resources (TPR), but these were replaced in Kubernetes by Custom Resource Definitions (CRD). As a result, the original TPR support was removed in Dashboard, but CRD support has not been added yet. This proposal aims at providing a generic support for Custom Resource Definitions to the dashboard, similar to the previous TPR support.
