Feature #1744: generalized metaparameter replaced

As discussed in the "Default user 
password-Thread":http://groups.google.com/group/puppet-users/browse_thread/thread/36a04f7be9a52be0/f88008790fd0c2b2
 it would be nice to have a metaparameter which generalize what actually should 
be replaced and what not:

Proposed is so far:

<pre>
Metaparameter: noreplace
</pre>
*Usage:*
For a file:
<pre>
noreplace => content,
</pre>
which won't replace any changed content, which is identical to the current 
<pre>
replace => true,
</pre>

statement.

Or for a user:
<pre>
noreplace => password,
</pre>
Which won't reset the password.

additionally it would make sense to be able to add various parameters, so we 
can set them to not being replaced. Like:
<pre>
noreplace => [ password, comment ],
</pre>
for a user type. So neither the password nor the user comment will be reset.
