Feature #16412: flag file resources and other diff-able things as "no-diff", to
avoid disclosing passwords

Diffs are great for most stuff, but for files containing sensitive information
- PII, passwords, keys, etc. - Puppet's diffs get distributed a bit too widely
- in reports, in emails, etc.
I'd like to add another attribute to the file type (I'm flexible on the name),
that will cause the file not to generate diffs:
file {
"/etc/sekrits":
content => ...,
backup => false,
showdiffs => false;
}
(this might also be useful for files that often have large, uninteresting diffs)
I'm willing to write the patch for this. I'm just looking for some vague sense
that it's worthwhile before I start.
