Bug #20151: Nagios types behave differently when config is to be written into
existing .cfg file

----------------------------------------
I'm trying to use exported resources to generate nagios configuration files.
When the path parameter is set to an existing file containing manually written
Nagios objects, the nagios types behave inconsistently:
- @@nagios_serviceescalation and @@nagios_servicedependency leave the existing
Nagios objects intact (though with the Nagios parameters reordered) and add the
exported resources' content to the end of the file. This way existing
definitions are being preserved, and, if necessary, overwritten by puppet. For
example:

--- serviceescalations/<escalation>.cfg (revision 5831)
+++ serviceescalations/<escalation>.cfg (working copy)

define serviceescalation {
- use <escalation>
- host_name
host-01,host-02,host-03,host-04,host-05,host-06,host-07,host-08,host-09,host-10

}
+
+define serviceescalation {
+host_name host-05
+## --PUPPET_NAME-- (called '_naginator_name' in the manifest)
<escalation>
+use <escalation>
+}
===================================================================
- @@nagios-service however simply depletes the original content of the file
given in path so that the resulting file contains generated content only.
Consistent behaviour of all Nagios types would be a major plus, favouring the
solution already implemented for @@nagios-serviceescalation.
