The client.rb is generated by the default boostrap procedure by
calling a method inside Chef called config_content:

https://github.com/opscode/chef/blob/master/lib/chef/knife/core/bootstrap_context.rb#L63

This is pulled into the bootstrap template as config_content:

https://github.com/opscode/chef/blob/master/lib/chef/knife/bootstrap/chef-full.erb#L62

If you don't like what it's doing, you can put your own content in the
section of your custom bootstrap template pertaining to the client.rb
generation and don't bother with config_content.
