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.

# Consul KV Export
Command: `consul kv export`
The `kv export` command is used to retrieve key-value pairs for the given
prefix from Consul's key-value store, and write a JSON representation to
stdout. This can be used with the command "consul kv import" to move entire
trees between Consul clusters.
## Usage
Usage: `consul kv export [PREFIX]`
#### API Options
Move command Meta to base.Command and split http options
