Puppet / PUP-10256 Add a feature flag for reading symlinked environments

Change By: Maggie Dreyer The new code directory layout will have basic environment paths symlinked to versions of the code dir. (PUP-10255) We need to be able to toggle whether Puppet will attempt to follow these links or use the old environment layout. This feature flag should also control whether Puppet writes a timestamp to one of these envs when it starts a compile with it.

Re: Add a feature flag for reading symlinked environments Is this a setting that should be exposed to users or is this only meant for our development purposes?

Unfortunately, I'm not sure we have a choice here: Puppet's settings framework exposes everything to users, as far as I know. And if we want this to be configurable in PE via the puppet-enterprise module, it has to be exposed to that, which means being exposed to all users.

ahh okay. but we wouldn't necessarily have to document that, would we?

Yeah I agree we shouldn't call it out. Though I do think the config reference docs are auto-generated.
