Title: Remove application recipes from 'seen_recipes' so they can be applied multiple times

This patch removes application recipes from 'seen_recipes' to apply application recipes (and thus "applications") multiple times on a node.

A common example is to have multiple web applications with different document roots and "context" on one machine.

Currently this is not possible because a application cookbook is only applied once as stated on http://wiki.opscode.com/display/chef/Recipes: _Note, however, that subsequent calls to include_recipe for the same recipe will have no effect._

Do you see any downsides in applying the patch? Or is there another way in applying similar application cookbooks onto one node?

Cheers
