kubernetes: ideas how to handle embedded fields.

[dilyevsky]

Here's specific case: https://github.com/kubernetes/api/blob/d04500c8c3dda9c980b668c57abc2ca61efcf5c4/core/v1/types.go#L1957-L1958

This will be accepted fine when media type is protobuf but will render incorrectly to JSON/YAML (for diffs or if you want to do PATCH because protobufs for patches are not accepted). Since generated.proto loses all information that the field is meant to be inline, we need some other way of having that information available during json marshaling.

Example:

...
        livenessProbe:
          handler:
            httpGet:
              path: /healthz
              port: 80
          initialDelaySeconds: 10
...

Should be:

...
        readinessProbe:
          failureThreshold: 3
          httpGet:
            path: /healthz
            port: 80
          initialDelaySeconds: 10
...

Just to be more clear - the stems from JSON inline tag not go type embedding.

Actually I found that standard lib encoding/json works as desired by noting the field is "anonymous" (embedded). Looks like this should be an issue to gogo/protobuf/jsonpb instead.
