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