 * Common superclass for an object that can be added/read/changed/deleted using the orchestrator's API.

 * It is recommended to subclass `ApiObject` for each specific concrete API object and to provide
 * default initialization logic, e.g., for `objectKind`.
 *
 * When registering a `PolarisTransformer` for `ApiObject` for a specific orchestrator, it is recommended
 * to set `PolarisTransformationConfig.inheritable` to `true`, because most subclasses of `ApiObject` will
 * not add additional properties, but just customize the existing ones.
