Generate resource type documentation from resource type classes

Registered by Steve Baker

It should be possible to generate documentation for resource types by introspecting the following:
- docstrings on resource type classes
- documentation attributes on the properties schema

This will keep the documentation close to the code, which at least in theory will help it to stay up-to-date.

This documentation would be consumed by the following:
- Automatic resource type documentation manual generation
- Help text served to clients (cli and gui) via a REST API call
