While working on this I have also simplified attribute whitelists and switched to the new configurations for allowed attributes.

This is running on prometheus-1. See the node file for prometheus-1 for an example of the automatic attributes

Closes #263

Simplify and improve chef attribute handling 1759af98b8

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.

The attributes are saved as "automatic" attributes and look like this:

  "zerotier": {
    "version": "1.16.2",
    "node_id": "NODEID",
    "networks": {
      "NETWORKID": {
        "network_name": "networkname",
        "mac": "ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff",
        "status": "OK",
        "type": "PRIVATE",
        "interface": "abcdefg",
        "addresses": [
          "10.1.1.255/24"
        ]
      }
    }
  }
