More detail about ≥ 2.8.2 version requirements for PE3 upgrades
Remove unused footnote from the cloud provisioner guide

Multi-line (soft-wrapped) footnotes don't work reliably even across Markdown
implementations that support the footnote syntax. But we weren't using this
footnote anyway, so let's delete it instead of fixing it.
(#22431) Re-enable windows executable external facts

This reverts the change made in fe5e639fd8, as starting with facter
1.7.3, external executable facts are supported on Windows.

Also added words to ensure the facts.d should only be writable by
Administrators, otherwise, a non-Admin could escalate privileges.
Update references for 3.3.0-rc2, w/ belated 3.2.4 and 2.7.23 refs too
Update report format docs for Puppet 3.3.0
Improve special reference versions -- add major.latest, major.stable, major.minor.stable
Change various links to use new 3.stable urls; reorganize main references index/sidebar
Guts: Revamped type reference!

This commit changes the PuppetDocs::Reference code to generate the type
reference in-house instead of asking the Puppet code for a preformatted text
blob. This gets us several huge wins; mostly, the ability to reformat the
reference at will without patching Puppet, and the ability to provide structured
data to anyone who wants to do their own thing.

What the new code does is to basically load the universe (but not instantiate an
autoloader, so we won't get any types from modules or the Puppet libdir),
interrogate the available type objects for their various documentation
fragments, build them into a reliable structure, then use that structure to
assemble a document. We rely on the existing documentation/feature/data methods
on the types/providers/parameters/properties, which obviously could be
problematic for the long term, but since we're hoping to build a unified
documentation service with Geppetto somewhere around the six month horizon, this
seems a reasonable way to decouple the formatting of type reference from
the Puppet code in the short term.

We aren't planning to give STRONG API maintenance to the type.json file, but
it's there if anyone wants it, and it shouldn't change much.

Use ERB to template the documentation for each type

This -- the way to arrange/format the docs for an individual type -- is the
heart of the type reference, and we're doing enough complicated things with the
underlying data that I've concluded we can't make it non-gross. So the right
approach is probably to isolate the grossness as much as possible.

Doing a big chain of string appends mixed with variable assignments is probably
not the way to isolate the grossness! So instead, let's assign a few of the more
expensive variables and then push most of the formatting logic out into a big
nasty ERB template.
Add attributes/providers/features TOC to each type

This makes it easier to jump around within a type... I think.
lookupvar for empty variable returns nil not undefined

As per Andy Parker's work, `lookupvar` in custom functions and
`scope.lookupvar` in a template will now return `nil` not `:undefined`
when a fact or variable has no value.

(#21133) Add versionable feature to windows package provider

Previously, the windows package provider knew what versions of
packages (MSI and exe) were installed, but did not report them,
e.g. when running puppet resource package.

The package provider is now versionable, and docs are updated accordingly with caveats.
