Allow packages to be updated

Registered by Mark Vanderwiel

Allow packages to be updated via the package resource action:upgrade. The cookbook today are inconsistent in what packages can be updated on subsequent converges. This blueprint attempts to bring some consistency to this.

There are probably other items that will be need to support the release upgrade, that is covered by blueprint openstack-upgrade.

-----------------------------------------------------------
Might I suggest an alternative pattern, thusly:

package_list.each do |pkg|
  package pkg do
    action node["openstack"]["do_package_upgrades"] == true ? :upgrade : :install
    options platform_options["package_options"]
  end
end

This gives me the option of leaving all packages alone, until I have tested new packages and can flip the switch (by changing the environment variable) to do upgrades
