[chef] Graphite cookbook release and breaking changes

[Sean Escriva < >]

Hi Chefs!

In the near future we'll be releasing a significantly different version of the graphite cookbook.

This change is a long time coming and some of you may have noticed that it's been sitting around on a branch (https://github.com/hw-cookbooks/graphite/tree/teh-futur) for some time now. While there's always refinements to be made it's been in production use at a few sites and is ready to be merged to master.

This change will move the cookbook to a library style cookbook and require your own custom wrapper cookbook to make use of it. Overall we think this fits much better with the many ways graphite can be deployed., but is definitely a breaking change from the current cookbook.

Further details are here: https://github.com/hw-cookbooks/graphite/pull/147

Example wrapper usage can be found here: https://github.com/hw-cookbooks/graphite/tree/teh-futur/example

We'll make sure to bump the version to 1.0.0 prior to merging so for anyone currently using the cookbook be sure to pin things to the current version, 0.4.8, if you're not doing so already.

As always, we love feedback so please ask related questions for PR 147 on github or irc.
