 - Relocate update_def to controls/VER
 - Relocate all controls to controls/VER
 - Only load cf_hub and reports.cf on CFEngine Enterprise installs

   modified

   order

   most useful for a good OOTB experience with CFEngine Enterprise Mission
   Portal.

   intended to be a user entry. This name change correlates with the main
   bundle being activated by default if there is no bundlesequence specified.

   processes after upgrade. (Redmine #7185)

 - Update policy from promise.cf inputs. There is no reason to include the
   update policy into promsies.cf, update.cf is the entry for the update policy
 - _not_repaired outcome from classes_generic and scoped_classes generic (Redmine: # 7022)
 - standard_services now restarts the service if it was not already running
   when using service_policy => restart with chkconfig (Redmine #7258)

   days_older_than (Redmine #3009)
