Base classes for standard CRUD operations.

These base classes are for `Method` plugins that provide standard
Create, Retrieve, Updated, and Delete operations (CRUD) for their corresponding
`Object` plugin.  In particuar, these base classes provide logic to
automatically create the plugin args and options by inspecting the params on
their corresponding `Object` plugin.  This provides a single point of definition
for LDAP attributes and enforces a simple, consistent API for CRUD operations.

For example, say we want CRUD operations on a hypothetical "user" entry.  First
we need an `Object` plugin:

>>> from ipalib import Object, Str
>>> class user(Object):
...     takes_params = (
...         Str('login', primary_key=True),
...         Str('first'),
...         Str('last'),
...         Str('ipauniqueid', flags=['no_create', 'no_update']),
...     )
...

Next we need `Create`, `Retrieve`, `Updated`, and `Delete` plugins, and
optionally a `Search` plugin.  For brevity, we'll just define `Create` and
`Retrieve` plugins:

>>> from ipalib import crud
>>> class user_add(crud.Create):
...     pass
...
>>> class user_show(crud.Retrieve):
...     pass
...

Now we'll register the plugins and finalize the `plugable.API` instance:

>>> from ipalib import create_api
>>> api = create_api()
>>> api.register(user)
>>> api.register(user_add)
>>> api.register(user_show)
>>> api.finalize()

First, notice that our ``user`` `Object` has the params we defined with the
``takes_params`` tuple:

>>> list(api.Object.user.params)
['login', 'first', 'last', 'ipauniqueid']
>>> api.Object.user.params.login
Str('login', primary_key=True)

Although we defined neither ``takes_args`` nor ``takes_options`` for our
``user_add`` plugin, the `Create` base class automatically generated them for
us:

>>> list(api.Command.user_add.args)
['login']
>>> list(api.Command.user_add.options)
['first', 'last', 'all', 'raw', 'version']

Notice that ``'ipauniqueid'`` isn't included in the options for our ``user_add``
plugin.  This is because of the ``'no_create'`` flag we used when defining the
``ipauniqueid`` param.  Often times there are LDAP attributes that are
automatically created by the server and therefor should not be supplied as an
option to the `Create` plugin.  Often these same attributes shouldn't be
update-able either, in which case you can also supply the ``'no_update'`` flag,
as we did with our ``ipauniqueid`` param.  Lastly, you can also use the ``'no_search'`` flag for attributes that shouldn't be search-able (because, for
example, the attribute isn't indexed).

As with our ``user_add` plugin, we defined neither ``takes_args`` nor
``takes_options`` for our ``user_show`` plugin; instead the `Retrieve` base
class created them for us:

>>> list(api.Command.user_show.args)
['login']
>>> list(api.Command.user_show.options)
['all', 'raw', 'version']

As you can see, `Retrieve` plugins take a single argument (the primary key) and
no options.  If needed, you can still specify options for your `Retrieve` plugin
with a ``takes_options`` tuple.

Flags like ``'no_create'`` remove LDAP attributes from those that can be
supplied as *input* to a `Method`, but they don't effect the attributes that can
be returned as *output*.  Regardless of what flags have been used, the output
entry (or list of entries) can contain all the attributes defined on the
`Object` plugin (in our case, the above ``user.params``).

For example, compare ``user.params`` with ``user_add.output_params`` and
``user_show.output_params``:

>>> list(api.Object.user.params)
['login', 'first', 'last', 'ipauniqueid']
>>> list(api.Command.user_add.output_params)
['login', 'first', 'last', 'ipauniqueid']
>>> list(api.Command.user_show.output_params)
['login', 'first', 'last', 'ipauniqueid']

Note that the above are all equal.
