Fixes#3605 and adds the functionality suggested in PR #7440.
This PR is using a different appraoch that (IMHO) feels cleaner and (even more important) adds support for Windows at the same time.
See the updated docs for more details and examples, but in short this
enables the `attributes` param from the Chef provisioner to accept a
raw JSON string.
Fixes#3074Fixes#3572
This Adds three new arguments `use_policyfile`, `policy_group` and `policy_name` to the Chef
provisioner. If `use_policyfile` == true, then the other arguments are required.
Before this option (`os_type`) the provisioner would use the connection
type to determine the targeted OS. When not supplying a value for
`os_type`, it will fall back to the old behaviour, so this is full BC.
