During the transition from puppet 2.7 to puppet 3.x we needed to
add logic to carefully select what versions of puppet and related
packages would be installed from the puppetlabs apt and yum
repositories. Before puppet 4 was announced, we rightfully feared
accidentally upgrading to backwards-incompatible versions of these
packages and breaking the world.
Now we are completely off of puppet 2.7, so we don't need to keep any
remnants of that around. Moreover, the new packaging system for puppet 4
will make it impossible to accidentally upgrade[1]. The package name has
changed from "puppet" to "puppet-agent", which has facter and hiera etc.
bundled into the same package, and in order to get the new package we
must add a new "puppet collections" repository. So, not only is this
pinning logic not needed to keep us safe, it is also not going to be
useful when we upgrade to puppet 4.
Looking at the puppetlabs repositories[2][3] we are already using the
latest version of the packages we are pinning and Puppet is definitely
not going to add new versions to these repositories.
The $puppet_version variable was leftover from when puppet.conf was
managed by puppet and not ansible so this patch cleans that up as well.

As we discovered in the course of upgrading puppetboard the puppetdb
package is upgraded independently of the puppetdb-terminus package,
but in fact it will break if they don't match. We now pin them to
the same values for safety.

This enables install_puppet.sh to run successfully on
trusty with PUPPET_VERSION=3 set.
Add a util directory and a puppetmaster bootstrap
shell script.
Puppetdb-terminus versions are the same in trusty and
precise but are different than the puppet version number.
Also puppetdb-terminus isn't present in the puppetlabs
repositories.
Along with this I have done sufficient testing to use
puppet version 3.6 with confidence.
Work has been done to enable directory environments as well.

This change modifies install_puppet.sh to accept a --three option
setting it to install the latest puppet available. It also creates
a node definition for the puppetmaster.o.o node, the new 3 master,
and the master of the future. Changes were made to various classes
to allow the pinning to version 2.x to be turned off.
