Add sdk:"keep" tag support
Fields tagged with `sdk:"keep"` will keep the value even if it would
normally be cleared because it was common across a number of structs.
This will allow a module type to specify the same value across all
structs populated directly from variants and have it be copied into all
common property structs without clearing it from the variant specific
structs.
