Feature #14972: generic "purge" parameter

it would be nice to have a generic "purge" parameter to have "managed" 
resources or classes of any type like the "file" resource.

if a resource was defined with purge => true and the resource isn't anymore in 
a later run, the same resource should be called with ensure => absent 
automatically by puppet.

this way a manual ensure => absent isn't needed anymore and the outcome would 
be the same.

Example:

Original manifest:

myresource { 'xxx':
  ensure => present, # or whatever
  purge => true
}

Later manifest:

<empty>

will define automatically:

myresource { 'xxx':
  ensure => absent
}
