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.
The previous make-jpkg from java-package_0.50 doesn't support building java
versions with three digits in the release number. Therefore it has been
necessary to upgrade java-packaages to the newer 0.53 version.
Building oracle packages using the java-package tools 0.53 results in package
with a new naming scheme as compared to 0.50. In particular where the packages
were previously named oracle-j2re1.8 they are now named oracle-java8-jre, while
oracle-j2dk1.8 has become oracle-java8-jdk. The alternatives naming has also
changed.
We also need to handle the system architecture naming on debian systems where
Debian names it's 64bit architecture 'amd64' and Oracle use 'x64'. This results
in the java_home path using x64 rather than amd64. We need to handle this
variation while also accommodating all architectures, and only for the recent
packages.
Given this has only been tested on Ubuntu, and the make-jpkg tooling is managed
in the Debian flavour, the changes are only applied to that code branch.

This patch adds the java_home variable to all supported
operating systemd, and gives the user the option to
set it themselves. It also updates config.pp to
ensure that the JAVA_HOME variable is set to
the desired java_home.
* Note this won't work by default on FreeBSD Puppet < 4.0, as pkgng is not the default provider
* On older Puppet, use `zleslie/pkgng`, on newer it's the default package provider.
Add info about OpenBSD support to README.md and metadata.json
Add a note about OpenBSD java_version fact to README.markdown.
Fixup wording on context in one of the java patch level regression tests.
No mentioning of OpenBSD in metdata.json
Cleanup wording of context as suggested by @elyscape
update contexts as suggested by @elyscape
The main motivation for this change is for compatibility with puppetresource (https://github.com/bartavelle/language-puppet).
IMHO, it makes much more sense this way because all cases are checked order wise.
