Schema change

Add created / updated into API for sorting / auditing

I had a use-case where I wanted to sort the functions by time created, and I couldn't find a way to do that with the function spec. This could also be useful for auditing purposes.

faas-netes

This is available in the Deployment spec already

faasd

The container creation date is probably available, but there isn't a way to update a container without re-creating it, so the created and modified dates would be the same.

for faas-netes: a creation timestamp is available in the Deployment spec, but a modification date is not. Unless we drill down in the status part of the Deployment spec.

For the time being, CreatedAt time.Date would be sufficient for sorting and can be added whilst we consider if modified date is worth the additional custom work.

As a side-note, it looks like containerd does have an updated at

i,err:= c.Info(context.Background())

i.CreatedAt
i.UpdatedAt

@jsiebens to prevent duplicated work, are you taking this?

To unblock folks so they can start with faasd and faas-netes, and because nobody has volunteered to take the schema change yet, I've gone ahead and added a field for CreatedAt and cut a release. https://github.com/openfaas/faas-provider/releases/tag/v0.17.2

Please feel free to populate in faasd + faas-netes in separate PRs.

@alexellis I think this is done and released in our supported providers.
