feature request: reboot on kernel upgrade option

[calebTomlinson]

reboot_on_kernel_update => true would be a nice option to have so that we can make sure we're actually running a compatible kernel in ubuntu 12.04

I've been talking with coworkers about this, and it appears that without some kind of orchestration around restarts this is a pretty terrible idea. I might write a custom helper in our codebase to do this only when first creating a box.

I guess I'll leave this issue open just in case someone decides it's an awesome idea?

This module (https://forge.puppetlabs.com/puppetlabs/reboot) currently supports rebooting on Windows from Puppet, but I've not seen anything similar for Linux at the moment. Including incase it's useful prior art.

Linux support has been added for the puppet reboot module, puppetlabs/puppetlabs-reboot#57
