Hi All,

I was building a custom Face and realized that there really should be
another way to handle these in the local filesystem.

The current method for adding Faces, as evidenced by 'strings', seems to be
to drop them in as a module.

I dislike this for two reasons. First, they're cluttering up my module
space (and function namespace) with something that is not a module. Second,
I don't want to have to add things to 'modules' if my node is simply a
client where I want additional functionality (puppetdb hooks, whatever).

So, I would like to propose the following:

* The module tool and Forge are enhanced to support a 'face' tag
* The 'face' tag will indicate that the module is installing a Face
* Faces cannot co-exist with other module components (no actual puppet
management code should be in a Face module)
* Faces will live at $facedir, by default $confdir/faces
* Face functionality will not pollute the global namespace (if possible)

Thanks,

Trevor
