facilitate removing no-longer-managed resources

all resources used in manifest should be recorded and stored in "shadow 
manifest" and then applied with "ensure => absent" while they dissapear from 
"real manifest". this would be an elegant way to purge configuration on servers 
that has been removed from pp's.

additionally "revert" metaparameter should be defineable (possibly with default 
value of false - for compatibility). it could be true (ie. for files, crons, 
etc - where removal method is obvious) or specific command to execute (ie. for 
reverting exec's and other non-obvious types).

optionally puppetmaster should log where there's garbage left on puppets (ie. 
things removed from "real manifest" but not reverted from "shadow manifest").
