// EncodeToVersion turns the given api object into an appropriate JSON string.
// Obj may be a pointer to a struct, or a struct. If a struct, a copy
// will be made, therefore it's recommended to pass a pointer to a
// struct. The type must have been registered.
//
// Memory/wire format differences:
//  * Having to keep track of the Kind and Version fields makes tests
//    very annoying, so the rule is that they are set only in wire format
//    (json), not when in native (memory) format. This is possible because
//    both pieces of information are implicit in the go typed object.
//     * An exception: note that, if there are embedded API objects of known
//       type, for example, PodList{... Items []Pod ...}, these embedded
//       objects must be of the same version of the object they are embedded
//       within, and their Version and Kind must both be empty.
//     * Note that the exception does not apply to a generic APIObject type
//       which recursively does Encode()/Decode(), and is capable of
//       expressing any API object.
//  * Only versioned objects should be encoded. This means that, if you pass
//    a native object, Encode will convert it to a versioned object. For
//    example, an api.Pod will get converted to a v1beta1.Pod. However, if
//    you pass in an object that's already versioned (v1beta1.Pod), Encode
//    will not modify it.
//
// The purpose of the above complex conversion behavior is to allow us to
// change the memory format yet not break compatibility with any stored
// objects, whether they be in our storage layer (e.g., etcd), or in user's
// config files.
