Adds support for install_options for the pkg provider on Solaris
Description
In this particular situation, there are several Puppet setups which they are trying to use the install_options functionality of the "sun" & "pkg" providers on Solaris. Puppet supports sun/pkg, but it does not, it appears, support all its pieces as install_options is not available.
When deploying packages to Solaris agents and trying to use install_options, it adds it to the command in double quotes, rendering the command ineffective.
The addition of install_options will also enable manipulation of boot environments as they are generated.
Potentially tangentially they also need to know how to put a file in a puppet repo (central repository) for it to be found without using source?
Please let me know what other information you need on this.
