In order for numeric file modes to still be properly interpreted as
octal modes in Puppet version 4 and later, they need to be specified
as strings, not as integers.  There was one instance where we had
missed that.  Fix it.

We used some definitions, resource types and facts from the module
nsc-puppet-utils.  That module has been refactored, renamed to
"nscutils", and split into multiple modules, so we need to track
those changes.  We use resource types and definitions for editing
config files, which have been moved to the new module "cfgfile",
and the custom fact 'initsystem', which at the moment is still left
in the "nscutils" module.

Previously, on RHEL-6, we always disabled the automatic starting
of getty on serial port consoles, to avoid conflicts with explicit
configuration of the same port.  This had the disadvantage that even
if logins were not explicit configured for, e.g, ttyS17, and you
booted the system with console=ttyS17, you would not get a login
prompt there.  That is probably not what most users would want.

We here make use of the 'stop on' event handling in Upstart job
definitions, to force the automatic getty job to be stopped, if an
explicit getty job for that port is started.  This assumes that such
jobs are named "serial-$DEV", as the console::serial::login definition
names them.

This adds a definition console::serial::login for managing if and how
getty(8) (or usually agetty(8)) is run on serial ports.

The current version only supports systemd-based Linux distributions
(and has only been actually tested on CentOS 7).

This adds a definition console::rootlogin for allowing or forbidding
root logins on specific terminals, i.e. entries in /etc/securetty.

By default, the console screensaver is enabled on Linux systems (at
least RedHat:ish systems).  That makes it difficult to see kernel
crash messages on the console on physical servers, as the screensaver
typically is activated, and you can't deactivate it since the kernel
is dead and does not respond to key presses...

This adds a class console::screensaver::disable which disables the
console screensaver when the machine boots.

At least modern Fedora and RHEL versions by default suspend your
laptop when you close the lid.  Some people, including me, don't
like that behaviour.  Add a class console::lid::ignore_close that
disables that; currently only implements this for systemd-based
systems, though.

Whether this belongs in the console module is debatable, but at the
moment I don't have any better place to hide it.

This adds a definition console::keymap::mapfile for installing (or
removing) keymap files for the Linux VGA console.

There is also a class console::keymap::params for defining where
keymap files are stored, with suitable defaults for some Linux
distributions.

This will contain a Puppet module for managing the console of Linux
machines, both VGA and serial consoles.
