Add ability to change apt/yum package state

The current method of installing the distribution packages required is
set in the tasks and cannot be changed by a deployer.

Currently the apt task always installs the latest package. This results
in unexpected binary changes when a deployer may simply be trying to
execute a configuration change.

This patch adds the ability for a deployer to change the desired state
so that the results are predictable.

+  - The os_designate role now supports the ability to configure whether
+    apt/yum tasks install the latest available package, or just ensure
+    that the package is present. The default action is to ensure that
+    the latest package is present. The action taken may be changed to
+    only ensure that the package is present by setting
+    ``designate_package_state`` to ``present``.
+upgrade:
+  - The os_designate role always checks whether the latest package is
+    installed when executed. If a deployer wishes to change the check to
+    only validate the presence of the package, the option
+    ``designate_package_state`` should be set to ``present``.
