joeduffy b7576b9b14 Add a notion of stable properties
This change adds the capability for a resource provider to indicate
that, where an action carried out in response to a diff, a certain set
of properties would be "stable"; that is to say, they are guaranteed
not to change.  As a result, properties may be resolved to their final
values during previewing, avoiding erroneous cascading impacts.

This avoids the ever-annoying situation I keep running into when demoing:
when adding or removing an ingress rule to a security group, we ripple
the impact through the instance, and claim it must be replaced, because
that instance depends on the security group via its name.  Well, the name
is a great example of a stable property, in that it will never change, and
so this is truly unfortunate and always adds uncertainty into the demos.
Particularly since the actual update doesn't need to perform replacements.

This resolves pulumi/pulumi#330.

// Provider presents a simple interface for orchestrating resource create, reead, update, and delete operations. Each
// provider understands how to handle all of the resource types within a single package.
//
// This interface hides some of the messiness of the underlying machinery, since providers are behind an RPC boundary.
//
// It is important to note that provider operations are not transactional. (Some providers might decide to offer
// transactional semantics, but such a provider is a rare treat.) As a result, failures in the operations below can
// range from benign to catastrophic (possibly leaving behind a corrupt resource). It is up to the provider to make a
// best effort to ensure catastrophes do not occur. The errors returned from mutating operations indicate both the
// underlying error condition in addition to a bit indicating whether the operation was successfully rolled back.
