this PR modifies the `external_host_identifier` parameter that's used to
match hosts to Puppet runs to use an identifier that's *unique per run*
(instead of an identifier that's *unique per host*)
this has the adventage to:
1. allow for concurrent Puppet runs that don't interfere with each
other.
2. allow for failed/orphaned Puppet runs to not interfere with new runs
(the keys will eventually get expired)
all the existent behavior should be preserved.
> Note: I have verified that the value that the reporter gets is the one
associated with the right puppet run, even if multiple runs happen
simultaneously.
Related to #11185 this adds a Puppet module that provides:
1. A custom type named `fleetdm::profile` that can be used to define
profiles to a device
2. A function named `fleetdm::release_device` that can be used to
release a device from await device configuration.
Instructions/usage can be found in the `README.md` file.
