Description

Currently, the C++ Resources class does not ensure that the underlying Resources protobufs are kept flat.

This is an issue because some of the methods, e.g. Resources::get, assume the resources are flat.

There is code that constructs unflattened resources, e.g. Slave::launchExecutor. We could prevent this type of construction, however it is perfectly fine if we ensure the C++ 'Resources' class performs flattening.
