Simplify and improve chef attribute handling

Set the attributes in a Ruby file under /etc/chef/client.d/ instead of
editing /etc/chef/client.rb
Now uses the new whitelist attribute:
https://docs.chef.io/client/19/cookbooks/attributes/attribute_persistence/

Local chef config also uses the same file. That means there is no longer
a need to use the sanitize script to remove override and default
attributes from nodes.
