This might be slightly controversial, in that you must specify the state
if a file would need to be created to perform the action. We no longer
implicitly assume that just specifying content is enough. As it turns
out, I believe this is safer and more correct. The code to implement
this turns out to be much more logical and simplified, and does this
removes an ambiguous corner case from the reversed resource code.
Some discussion in: https://github.com/purpleidea/mgmt/issues/540
This patch also does a bit of related cleanup.
This adds the first reversible resource (file) and the necessary engine
API hooks to make it all work. This allows a special "reversed" resource
to be added to the subsequent graph in the stream when an earlier
version "disappears". This disappearance can happen if it was previously
in an if statement that then becomes false.
It might be wise to combine the use of this meta parameter with the use
of the `realize` meta parameter to ensure that your reversed resource
actually runs at least once, if there's a chance that it might be gone
for a while.
This patch also adds a new test harness for testing resources. It
doesn't test the "live" aspect of resources, as it doesn't run Watch,
but it was designed to ensure CheckApply works as intended, and it runs
very quickly with a simplified timeline of happenings.
