Title: new type: __rsyncer

This type is used to trigger rsync to copy files from the machine running cdist (source) to the target machine in question (destination). The likely usage is the rapid deployment of full directory trees, the cohorency of which can be guarunteed with the optional `--delete` argument, which will remove any files from the destination which are not present on the source.

While it would be trivial to expand it to use more of rsync's features, I suspect that keeping it simple fits in more closely with the design ethos of cdist.
