Erwin van EykandSoam Vasani 70a93a7302 Add Container object to environment build and runtime specs (#413)
Environment Specs so far had only an image URL to specify a container image.

This was fine for public images but fell short in a few of cases:
(a) Using private image registries
(b) Specifying environment variables (this is needed for workflows helm install)
(c) Setting a SecurityContext for the container

This change adds the Container object to both build and runtime Environments. 

Compatibility is preserved -- the existing ImageURL field is still used.  See the comments in types.go for the overriding rules in the case that both Container and ImageURL are specified.

Compiling Fission
=================
[You only need to do this if you're making Fission changes; if you're
just deploying Fission, use fission.yaml which points to prebuilt
images.]
You'll need the `go` compiler and tools installed, along with the
[glide dependency management
tool](https://github.com/Masterminds/glide#install). You'll also need
docker for building images.
The server side is compiled as one binary ("fission-bundle") which
contains controller, poolmgr and router; it invokes the right one
based on command-line arguments.
To build fission-bundle: clone this repo to
`$GOPATH/src/github.com/fission/fission`, then from the top level
directory (if you want to build the image with the docker inside
minikube, you'll need to set the proper environment variables with
`eval $(minikube docker-env)`):
```
# Get dependencies
$ glide install -v
# Build fission server and an image
$ pushd fission-bundle
$ ./build.sh
```
You now need to build the docker image for fission. You can use
`push.sh` and push it to a docker hub account. But it's easiest to use
minikube and its built-in docker daemon:
```
$ eval $(minikube docker-env)
$ docker build -t minikube/fission-bundle .
```
Next, install fission with this image on your kubernetes cluster using the helm chart:
```
$ helm install --set "image=minikube/fission-bundle,imageTag=latest,pullPolicy=IfNotPresent,analytics=false" charts/fission-all
```
And if you're changing the CLI too, you can build it with:
```
# Build Fission CLI
$ cd fission && go install
```
