Solaris 11 support

[ccope]

The default recipe and pip_package provider work just fine after adding the package names. I didn't test the source recipe but I suspect it won't work without gmake (GNU make instead of the Sun make).

[ccope]

Any feedback on this PR?

[coderanger]

@ccope I can't test this easily so I'm not sure I'm super comfortable supporting it internally.

[ccope]

Yeah... I put in the work to create a bento packer definition for automatically generating Solaris 11 base boxes, but unfortunately it doesn't seem possible to distribute prebuilt boxes right now :-(

Even with that, my testing harness is built on docker+travis. So this would have to be manually tested.

[ccope]

Ah... Well, that's kind of a bummer. Though the cookbook does currently support FreeBSD and SmartOS (a Solaris derivative), which also do not run in Docker containers, I can see the concern of adding more untested code. Given that the scope of the change is so small though, would you consider merging this if I added a disclaimer to the README like this?

The following platforms are not automatically testable on TravisCI. If you encounter problems, pull requests with associated tests are welcome.
- FreeBSD
- SmartOS
- Solaris

[coderanger]

Yeah, thats probably reasonable.

[ccope]

Hmm. Well, I added the notice. Looks like berkshelf is having some unrelated issues right now which broke the build (failed to download the minitest cookbook).

[ccope]

@coderanger it looks like any new PR's will fail testing until my last commit gets merged

[ccope]

rebased on master, fixed build again

Virtual machine is best tool to cross platforms.

Leaving this open for tracking, this should get moved to a provider subclass in https://github.com/poise/poise-python. Will revisit shortly.
