Feature #4953: Zypper Provider should support Patterns

SUSE defines software package lists called patterns. These patterns are 
combining related packages to useful software collections. For instance, the 
pattern "Basis-Devel" would give you the autotools, gcc, kernel sources etc...

Zypper can be used to install all packages from these lists by installing the 
pattern when setting the type explicitely to pattern. For example: zypper 
install -t pattern Basis-Devel

When using the zypper provider in puppet it would be nice to be able to install 
these patterns. Please find attached our quick modification of the provider. It 
will detect if the given name identifies a pattern or a package and will call 
zypper with the appropriate flags.
