Will Thames 9e9962bc6c Provide a mechanism to hide fields from output (#629)
Provide a mechanism to hide fields from output

SUMMARY
The k8s and k8s_info modules can be a little noisy in verbose mode, and most of that is due to managedFields.
If we can provide a mechanism to hide managedFields, the output is a lot more useful.
