It appears that redhat 7 and variants no longer have
java-1.7.0-openjdk-$arch symlinks. All redhat 6/7's both 32 and 64 bit
seem to include a java-1.7.0 symlink though.
This provides a workaround to the issue of Oracle changing it's URL structure which breaks the dynamic URL building in the module.
It allows a complete URL to be passed as an alternative to one built by the logic in the module, and allows the rest of the module to function as expected when this situation is encountered.
Changes made to manifests/oracle.pp to pass URL in `url` parameter (if defined) to the `source` directive of the archive resource which fetches the installer package.
README.markdown has been updated to document the additional parameter, as well as a note added to known issues describing it's operation.
A test has been added to spec/defines/oracle_spec.rb to verify the correct package is present in the tmp archive location. The spec tests have passed and the revised workflow has been tested in a lab environment and found to be working.
* release:
(maint) facts update oracle.pp
(maint) update metadata
fixed formatting errors + made various minor changes
(MODULES-4958) prep for 2.0.0 release and some markdown rendering fixes
forgot to update version in metadata for major version bump

facts on master. this commit changes the minimum number of facts from
legacy to structured so that spec tests continue to pass

Without this patch the Oracle based package installations fail due to missing dependency: the package. The package installation command is defined and applied before the archive resource downloads the remote file. This patch correctly applies the order of operations: download package, install package.
Previous value of 8M caused JVM to crash on servers with more then 40G of RAM
Tested on databases servers up to 1.5T of RAM, 12M seems to be sufficient
