Adds check to params.pp if lab-release is not installed
Adds spec test
If lab-release is not installed, then the end user sees a confusing/ vague message
Error: Unsupported lsbdistid () at /modules/apt/manifests/params.pp:52
It is common for docker containers to not include this package by default
After fix, the user sees a friendlier message if lab-release is not installed
Error: Unable to determine lsbdistid, is lsb-release installed? at /modules/apt/manifests/params.pp:52

add facts showing available updates
Making use of the apt-check command from the 'update-notifier-common'
package (if available) display the number of available updates, number of
security updates as well as the update package names.

Enable auto-update for Debian squeeze-lts
Quoting https://wiki.debian.org/LTS
Official security support for Debian GNU/Linux 6.0
(code name "Squeeze") has ended on 31 May 2014.
However long term support for the distribution
is going to be extended until February 2016,
i.e. five years after the initial release.

Allow url or domain name for key_server parameter
As some places dont have port 11371 open, they are required to use URL as
key_server instead of domain name therefore adding the capability to use URL or
domain name as key_server parameter

Implement fancy progress bars configuration.
Ubuntu 14.04 ships with apt 0.9.15, has a ``fancy progress bar'', which
is a green bar that shows at the bottom of the terminal showing progress
throughout install.
This patch enables the progress bar, which is usually done by running
echo 'Dpkg::Progress-Fancy "1";' > /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/99progressbar
The default configuration we were writing for Debian was only working
for Squeeze, from Wheezy and onwards this wasn't working anymore. This
has to do with the fact that we should now be using Origins-Pattern
according to the unattended-upgrades docs. However, Ubuntu didn't
entirely get with the program yet...
This change reflects the defaults that unattended-upgrade installs on
every platform we support. In order to do so the unattended-upgrades
Debian archive for Squeeze, Wheezy, Lucid, Precise and Trusty were
downloaded and the default /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/50unattended-upgrades
checked for its content with regard to using Allow-Origins or
Origins-Pattern.
Because Squeeze is now oldstable we need to add an oldstable line too
otherwise security updates won't be picked up. This is still because we
can't match on codename.
In APT preferences files the only allowed comments are lines that start
with `Explanation:`, commented lines that start with a # trigger a
myriad of interesting bugs. This is considered a feature of APT.
Because we're only ever writing a single file at a time with only a #
comment at the top we were getting away with this but it shouldn't be
there in the first place.

The module used to always pin backports to a priority of 200. This
default is still retained but is now configurable.
Additionally the default is now an Integer, not a 'quoted Integer' and
the tests have been updated to reflect this. This matters for future
parser as it will now kick people if they pass in a stringified integer
as priority.
For some reason, even though our own tests pass with `require
puppet_x/apt_key/patch_openuri` every other module that depends on
puppetlabs-apt is now breaking in tests claiming it can't load that
module.
Somewhere along the way something is probably messing with LOADPATH
causing this to trip up. This should fix the issues for everyone.
