    htools: add partial implementation of lib/objects.py · b1e81520

    This is partial since not all object types can be easily converted for
    now (will need some changes on the Python side for this).
    
    Most importantly, the *Params types do not have a good solution now:
    the Python code, due to its dynamic typing, hides the fact that we
    actually have two different types at play: a full type which needs to
    have all keys, and the 'partial' type which has slightly different
    behaviour. I've implemented these in Haskell as two different types,
    Full* and Partial*, which are derived automatically from a single
    Parameter type, together with the associated Fill* functions.
    
    Furthermore, HVParams is even more special, as its contents is not
    fixed but varies per hypervisor type, plus it has the HV_GLOBALS part
    which should not be customisable at instance type (yay for
    exceptions). As such, this should be written in Haskell as a
    multi-constructor type, but it's the only one so far and thus we don't
    have support for it yet.
