(#4695) Puppet should not reset locale for services

Don't reset locale when starting services, we don't parse their output
so there is no need.

This avoids having different locales for services depending on if they
are started on boot or started by puppet.
Replace dashes with dots for gem version

When switching out to using git-describe for versioning from
source, gem versioning breaks because dashes are not allowed.
This simple fix replaces the dashes with dots, which are.
Note that in a merge-up to 3.0.x, this commit will conflict.
Default to 'ours' in a merge-up, this file does not even exist
in 3.0.x and shouldn't.

Preserve timestamps when installing files

Without the preserve option, ruby's FileUtils.install method uses the
current time for all installed files.  For backup systems, package
installs, and general pedantic sysadmins, preserving timestamps makes a
small improvement in the world.
(#15513) Clarify target attribute for cron

Without this patch applied the behavior of `target` in the cron type isn't made clear.
This is a problem because users report trying to use a file as the target instead of
the intended username, producing unexpected results.

This patch clarifies the behavior of `target` by improving the description docstring.

redundant and unnecessary targets given Puppet is noarch.

Maint: Improve explanation of exec type's "creates" parameter

The "creates" parameter was still causing user confusion (see re-opening
of issue #8612), so this commit revises it to be more wordy and
hopefully totally unambiguous.

(#7422) Support arrow syntax with metaparams

Attempts to combine the arrow syntax with
metaparams lead to the following error message:

Error: undefined method `<<' for {}:Hash

For example, the following code:

  Notify['one'] -> Notify['three']

  notify { 'one':
    before => Notify['two']
  }
  notify { 'two': }

  notify { ['three', 'four']: }

Causes this issue. This is because relationships
appended with the -> syntax assume that the current
list of dependencies are an array.

Given that, it is not surprising that the following
code is valid at the moment:

  Notify['one'] -> Notify['three']

  notify { 'one':
    before => Notify['two', 'four']
  }
  notify { 'two': }

  notify { ['three', 'four']: }

In this case, the dependency resources are already
expressed as an array before the arrow syntax appends
the additional dep.

This commit converts everything to an array before
trying to append additional relationships to that
array. The fact that the second code snippet already
works demonstrates that Puppet already supports
appending additional refs to an array of refs.
