[chef] FW: chef-client v3.0.0

[Joshua Timberman < >]

Ohai Chefs,

Julian Dunn found a couple issues related to Windows support for the
chef-client cookbook version 3.0.0, COOK-3157, COOK-3159. These are
released in 3.0.4. A release for COOK-3157 actually went out as 3.0.2.

Cheers,
Joshua

## v3.0.4:

### Bug

- [COOK-3159]: don't skip directory creation on Windows

formerly (like, an hour before maybe?) v3.0.2:

### Bug

- [COOK-3157]: correct root group detection for Windows
