[chef] Cookbook releases, runit upgrade prep edition

[Joshua Timberman < >]

Ohai Chefs,

Ticket CHEF-154 was moved to the cookbooks project and is now COOK-2254.
The COOK-2254 branch that had the runit_service changes I described
earlier this week is now merged into master. The version is "development"
version 0.16.3, and I'm planning on releasing 1.0.0 tomorrow. The
cookbooks releases below are mainly pinning the runit dependency to <=
0.16.2.

It bears repeating that we do not recommend using the master branch of the
GitHub repositories, and instead use the released versions from the
community site. You should also update your own local cookbooks that use
`runit_service` to the runit cookbook version 0.16.2 (or to whatever
version you're currently using) until you're ready to modify them for the
changes in COOK-2254. The ticket to track Opscode's cookbook changes for
this update is COOK-2253. It will have sub-task tickets reflecting the
work required on an individual cookbook ticket. For now, the affected
cookbooks pin the version.

Note that chef-client and nginx cookbooks do not depend on runit, because
it is not the default way these cookbooks set up the service. Instead they
use suggests and recommends, which aren't actually implemented for
cookbook downloading, and are informational only.
