[Smtk-developers] Resource Proxies (not the ParaView kind)

The method resolve() pulls in the operation system which pulls in the attribute system and IO system, thus making SMTK Core a giant circular dependency again. I really, really don’t want to do this for the sake of syntactic sugar.

Also, make an explicit Link class in resource that has a pure virtual resolve() method. Then there are no operations and thus no circular deps.
