ListThenWatch

[epa095]

What is the feature and why do you need it:
I want to list the objects of some resource, and then watch for updates to it.

As explained different places (e.g. kubernetes-client/python-base#131 (comment)
#819) one can not just use a ẁatch, but one has to first do a list, get the resourceVersion from the list-call itself, and then use that in the watch. I would be surprised if I am the only one who did not know this, and faulty tried to use the watch as a list+watch.

Describe the solution you'd like to see:
A list+watch functionality next to the Watch.

This is related to #868, but seems like a smaller issue.
