----------------------------------------
Feature #13880: Puppet should have an openrc service provider for Gentoo and 
Funtoo

Gentoo (since baselayout-2) and Funtoo use openrc to control services. The 
current gentoo service provider does not make use of all functionalities of 
openrc:

<pre>
rc-service start/stop service
rc-update enable/disable service
rc-status handle runlevels
</pre>

It is not necessary to call initscripts directly anymore like the current 
`gentoo` provider does. The current gentoo provider also has a bug when 
handling long service names (#5197).

We should provide a superior `openrc` provider for Gentoo and Funtoo (and 
possible others). However we cannot remove the current provider because old 
gentoo versions do not have all of the above commands (as statet in #5197). The 
new `openrc` provider should not put any confines on `operatingsystem` so it 
will be easier to introduce Gentoo Forks like Funtoo (Funtoo support is 
currently handled in #13680)
