puppetmaster was used to determine if `agent` or `apply` should be used. But puppetmaster is not required by puppet per default. Puppet may have a config or could find out by itself (...) where the puppet master is.
It changed the code so we only use `apply` if a manifest was passed, otherwise we use `agent`.
This also fixes the example, which did not work the way without this change.
~~~
# Run puppet agent and fail if anything goes wrong
- puppet

puppet may be configured to operate in `--noop` mode per default.
That is why we must pass a `--no-noop` to make sure, changes are going to be applied.
There is a growing pattern for using ansible to orchestrate runs of
existing puppet code. For instance, the OpenStack Infrastructure team
started using ansible for this very reason. It also turns out that
successfully running puppet and interpreting success or failure is
harder than you'd expect, thus warranting a module and not just a shell
command.
This is ported in from

The alternatives module parses the output of update-alternatives, but the expected English phrases may not show up if the system locale is not English. Setting LC_ALL=C when invoking update-alternatives fixes this problem.
MAN page states the following :
Rules for traffic not destined for the host itself but instead for
traffic that should be routed/forwarded through the firewall should
specify the route keyword before the rule (routing rules differ
significantly from PF syntax and instead take into account netfilter
FORWARD chain conventions). For example:
ufw route allow in on eth1 out on eth2
This commit introduces a new parameter "route=yes/no" to allow just that.
