files that always update like mcollective facts.

People are doing:

<pre>
exec{"/bin/true":
   unless => "/path/to/script"
}
</pre>

where the script always return 0, thats really nasty nasty nasty but they're 
forced to do that cos they are not given this choice.

Feature #7555: should be able to exclude a resource from reporting

There are many cases where you would want a resource to run always - like an 
exec that does an apt-get update for example - these will constantly spam the 
reports with changes and it would be good if there was a meta parameter that 
lets people choose to not have a resource be reported on.

I realize its a bit controversial but it would make some peoples lives a lot 
better, by default everything should be reported though as it is today
