strategy, ok := e.(string)
if !ok {
return apply.FieldMetaImpl{}, fmt.Errorf("Expected string for x-kubernetes-patch-strategy by got %T", s)

According the judgment above, I think we should print the type of e.

kubectl: fix Flatten() when used without Latest()
**What this PR does / why we need it**:
If `Flatten()` is used on resource builder the list is not flattened unless the `Latest()` is used in the chain.
We should support `Flatten()` without Latest() as well. For example:
```
$ oc apply -l foo=bar -f /tmp/list.yaml
```
will fail with:
```
F0517 13:45:07.831195 31795 helpers.go:119] error: object does not implement the Object interfaces
```

switch to versioned objects only for set
Only used versioned types in the `kubectl set` commands. This has long been the goal and we finally make it so here.

category expansion can only come from the server
A couple release ago we moved category expansion to the server instead of hardcoding it in the client. Similar to restmappings, there is no valid client-side expansion anymore, so this removes the code that hardcoded the list and moves the category expansion to the same package as our discovery based restmappers.

Exclude keys containing empty patches in the final patch
**What this PR does / why we need it**:
This minimizes the 3-way JSON merge patch generated when calculating the patch necessary to send to the server. It does this by removing empty maps created from deleting keys in the keepOrDeleteNullInObj method.
This is not only a slight performance improvement (less PATCH requests) but also necessary when working with custom resources that have RBAC restrictions.

push ToRESTMapper down a layer
The RESTMapper is needed to drive some use-cases for a dynamic client and takes a little bit of wiring (nested restmappers). This pull pushes that into information derived from the kubeconfig flags to allow easy re-use.
