[chef] database and database_user resources

[Seth Chisamore < >]

Ohai!

I'm happy to announce the latest version (1.0.0) of the database cookbook now 
contains 'database' and 'database_user' resources. The update also ships with 
respective providers for MySQL and SQL Server. These resources are perfect 
for general database tasks like creating application databases, application 
database users and assigning the appropriate permissions for these users from 
within data-driven recipes.

Based on these new improvements, the following updates/changes have also been 
made:

* The 'mysql_database' LWRP has been removed from the latest version (1.2.0) 
of the mysql cookbook, use the 'mysql_database' shortcut resource where 
appropriate now.
* The 'database::master' and 'database::snapshot' recipes have been updated 
to leverage the 'mysql_database' and 'mysql_database_user' shortcut resources 
where appropriate. In the future the 'database::master' recipe will be 
updated to work with any provider for the the database and database_user 
resources (most likely keying off the adapter).
* I will be working with the authors of the PostgreSQL LWRP fixes (COOK-531 
[0] and COOK-604 [1]) to refactor these contributions as providers for the 
database and database_user resources.
