Peter Hamilton dcade2a264 Update object hierarchy read/write to support the KMIP version
This change updates the PyKMIP object hierarchy's read/write
method signatures to support propagation of the KMIP version. The
introduction of KMIP 2.0 introduces future KMIP message encodings
that break backwards compatibility; to support this, PyKMIP must
know what KMIP version is being used when encoding or decoding an
object; the KMIP version residing in the client or server alone
is now insufficient. Prior versions of KMIP, namely 1.0 - 1.4,
have been backwards compatible, obviating the need for the KMIP
version at encode/decode time. Going forward, this is no longer
true.

The PyKMIP client and server have been updated to include the
KMIP version when making calls to read/write, as have the
associated test cases covering this functionality.

PyKMIP is a Python implementation of the Key Management Interoperability
Protocol (KMIP), an `OASIS`_ communication standard for the management of
objects stored and maintained by key management systems. KMIP defines how key
management operations and operation data should be encoded and communicated
between client and server applications. Supported operations include the full
`CRUD`_ key management lifecycle, including operations for managing object
metadata and for conducting cryptographic operations. Supported object types
include:

* symmetric/asymmetric encryption keys
* passwords/passphrases
* certificates
* opaque data blobs, and more

For more information on KMIP, check out the `OASIS KMIP Technical Committee`_
and the `OASIS KMIP Documentation`_.
