Feature #4920: Treat file sources as templates

Under certain circumstances, file sources should be evaluated by ERB.
I imagine three possible syntax for that:
1. A parameter:
<pre>
file { "/tmp/file":
source => ["puppet:///$fqdn", "puppet:///somedefault"],
erbeval => true
}
</pre>
2. A prefix:
<pre>
file { "/tmp/file":
source => ["puppet:///$fqdn", "erb:puppet:///somedefault"],
}
</pre>
3. Using the file extension:
<pre>
file { "/tmp/file":
source => ["puppet:///$fqdn", "puppet:///somedefault.erb"],
}
</pre>
In general, I would like to see the difference between files and templates
vanish. However, since ERB is dreadfully slow, that might not be desired.
Hence I would suggest a combination of (1.) and (2.) (stupid redmine syntax
parsing idiocy): erbeval defaults to false, in which case only the sources
prefixed with "erb:" are evaluated. If erbeval is true, all sources are
evaluated (and the prefix ignored). If wanted, a "noerb:" could also be
introduced.
