Fixes #656 .
This PR shows a way to reduce the size of reprs of ORM objects. It implements a custom repr function which is depth-limited. It's a simple generic way to "prune" the repr. If you try again the script given in the issue, the result should much smaller.
This PR also overrides __repr__() for three ORM classes: Queue, Resource, Tag as an example.
The function is implemented in a pretty generic way, so you could use it with simple types and generic data structures as well, but the depth limiting is specifically implemented in terms of nested ORM objects, since it is written to solve the ORM object repr problem.
