Fuzzy-find the field to explain from all API resources.

## Motivation
## What’s lacking in the original `kubectl-explain`?

- `kubectl explain` needs knowing in advance the resources name/fields.
- `kubectl explain` needs typing the accurate path to the resource name/field, which is a tedious and typo-prone.

## Usage

```
Fuzzy-find the field to explain from all API resources.
- `kubectl explain` requires knowing in advance the resource name/fields.
- `kubectl explain` requires typing the accurate path to the resource name/field, which is a tedious and typo-prone.

```bash
# Fuzzy-find a resource, then a field to explain
kubectl explore

# Fuzzy-find the field to explain from pod.
# Fuzzy-find from all fields of a specific resource.
kubectl explore pod
kubectl explore sts

# Fuzzy-find the field to explain from fields matching the regex.
kubectl explore pod.*node
kubectl explore spec.*containers
kubectl explore lifecycle
# Fuzzy-find from fields that a given regex matches.
kubectl explore sts.*Account
# Fuzzy-find the field to explain from all API resources in the selected cluster.
kubectl explore --context=onecontext
