Puppet / PUP-7424 Take in extra parameters for Solaris when using package resource type

Change By: Josh Cooper

On Solaris11, when a package is installed like this :

{code:puppet}

package { 'zabbixclient' :       ensure => 'latest',     }

{code} Solaris11 pkg manager always create a be BE ( *b*oot *e*nvironment boot environment ) for safety, which can use huge space on disk (when you often upgrade packages and so you take a filesystem full). example (in this example, each time a package is updated, sol11 create a be name BE named *backup*) {noformat}

>beadm list BE                    Flags Mountpoint Space  Policy Created

--                    ----- ---------- -----  ------ -------

zfsAltDisk            -     -          69.36M static 2016-12-25 15:00 zfsAltDisk-1          NR    /          40.96G static 2017-01-13 10:02

*{color:red}zfsAltDisk-1-backup-1{color}* -     -          758.5K static 2017-04-03 15:00 {noformat}

To avoid this safety creation each time, an option is necessary, like --no-backup-be I modify locally, this file : /puppet/lib/puppet/provider/package/pkg.rb, line 208 << args.push('--no-backup-be') >> The best way will be to add parameters to the resources type package, which could be interpretates in  /puppet/lib/puppet/provider/package/pkg.rb, line 208

I add too a *pkg refresh* at the start, because Solaris11 needs a refresh catalogue more frequently. At line 29 # Add a systemic refresh, for retrieving last fresh packages pkg(:refresh) Thanks
