Add concept page about the Kubernetes API client libraries explaining what they do and list officially-supported & community-maintained client libraries. The list is obtained from https://github.com/kubernetes/community/blob/master/contributors/devel/client-libraries.md and I am planning to add a notice there urging people to update the /docs/reference/client-libraries.md when they add something there. Alternatively we could remove that page altogether. Signed-off-by: Ahmet Alp Balkan <ahmetb@google.com>

API Client Libraries
To call the Kubernetes API from a programming language, you can use client libraries. Officially supported client libraries:
CLI Reference
- kubectl - Main CLI tool for running commands and managing Kubernetes clusters.
- JSONPath - Syntax guide for using JSONPath expressions with kubectl.
- kubeadm - CLI tool to easily provision a secure Kubernetes cluster
Config Reference
- kubelet - The primary node agent that runs on each node. The kubelet takes a set of PodSpecs and ensures that the described containers are running and healthy.
- kube-apiserver - REST API that validates and configures data for API objects such as pods, services, replication controllers.
- kube-controller-manager - Daemon that embeds the core control loops shipped with Kubernetes.
- kube-proxy - Can do simple TCP/UDP stream forwarding or round-robin TCP/UDP forwarding across a set of back-ends.
- kube-scheduler - Scheduler that manages availability, performance, and capacity.
- federation-apiserver - API server for federated clusters.
- federation-controller-manager - Daemon that embeds the core control loops shipped with Kubernetes federation.
