Support Windows Server Containers for K8s

[michmike]

Description

Microsoft, in collaboration with Docker, is introducing a new feature called Windows Server Containers, which enables Docker containers to run on Windows. SIG-Windows would like to enhance Kubernetes to support Windows Server Containers (and Windows Server 2016 as the operating system of choice for the windows-based kubelet). With this feature, customers will be able to run Windows-based and .NET-based applications inside containers on Kubernetes. Kubernetes will be the first fully functional cross-platform cluster manager.
