Chef-Client Version Updates

Beware when updating the chef-client version in attributes/versions.rb: When running this cookbook through the CI system with a different version, then the chef run will be killed after installing the target version.

Therefore, follow this procedure for updating the chef-client version:

1. update the version number in chef-repo's support_files/test-kitchen/config.yml to test cookbooks locally against the new version
2. update the version number in the site-chefcitypo3org cookbook so that Chef-CI tests the cookbooks with the new version
3. update the version number in t3-chef-client (which would finally deploy it on all nodes)
