Allow generic linux install with no additional packages on a node (empty/blank role)

Registered by Gregory Elkinbard

Currently, it is not possible to easily extend a fuel deployment with field customization, you have to understand fuel code and be ready to hack it in the field. What if there was a blank role.
a linux node that fuel could install, whose personality can then be set by hand. Then this node can be turned into what ever additional service node that fuel does not support yet. for example elastic search node.

* by default Fuel allocates minimal disk size for OS
* plugin's post and pre deployment hooks should work for this role
