    Make kubectl explain print the Kind and APIVersion of the resource
    
    **What this PR does / why we need it**:
    Kubectl explain currently doesn't print out the Kind and APIversion of the resource being explained. When running `kubectl explain hpa.spec`, for example, there is no way of knowing whether you're looking at the `autoscaling/v1` or the `autoscaling/v2beta1` version. 
    Also, `kubectl explain` is often used as a reference when writing YAML/JSON object manifests. It allows you to look up everything except the API version. Currently, you either need to know the API Version of a resource by heart or look it up in the online API docs. 
    This PR fixes both problems by having `kubectl explain` print out the full Kind and APIVersion of the resource it is explaining.
    
    Here are a few examples of the new output:
    ```
    $ kubectl explain deploy
    KIND:     Deployment
    VERSION:  extensions/v1beta1
    
    DESCRIPTION:
    ...
    
    
    $ kubectl explain hpa.spec
    KIND:     HorizontalPodAutoscaler
    VERSION:  autoscaling/v1
    
    RESOURCE: spec <Object>
    
    DESCRIPTION:
    ...
    
    
    $ kubectl explain hpa.spec.maxReplicas
    KIND:     HorizontalPodAutoscaler
    VERSION:  autoscaling/v1
    
    FIELD:    maxReplicas <integer>
    
    DESCRIPTION:
    ...
    
    
    $ kubectl explain hpa.spec --recursive
    KIND:     HorizontalPodAutoscaler
    VERSION:  autoscaling/v1
    
    RESOURCE: spec <Object>
    
    DESCRIPTION:
         behaviour of autoscaler. More info:

          apiVersion	<string>
          kind	<string>
          name	<string>

    ```
    
    **Release note**:
    
    ```release-note
    Kubectl explain now prints out the Kind and API version of the resource being explained
