patch

Add support for fields sub-selection of just parts of an entity when listing entities in the catalog backend.

Example: .../entities?fields=metadata.name,spec.type will return partial entity objects with only those exact fields present and the rest cut out. Fields do not have to be simple scalars - you can for example do fields=metadata.
