cli: Add KV `export` and `import` This commit adds two new commands to the Consul KV CLI, which export and import a JSON formatted representation of the Consul KV tree. It is useful to migrate parts of the KV tree between unrelated Consul clusters, and could also be used for initial data population of the KV store.

## Examples
To import from a file, prepend the filename with `@`:
```
$ consul kv import @values.json
# Output
```
To import from stdin, use `-` as the data parameter:
```
$ cat values.json | consul kv import -
# Output
```
You can also pass the JSON directly, however care must be taken with shell
escaping:
```
$ consul kv import "$(cat values.json)"
# Output
```
