Handle immutability of config #36

@james-stocks

Description

@james-stocks

This cookbook (at least if you set the cis rules) will include -e 2 config, making the auditd config immutable.

This means that if the cookbook is run repeatedly in Chef runs; the notified restart of the auditd service will have no effect on the current config.
When auditd is configured to be immutable; a restart of the host is needed.

This cookbook should possibly do something to address this.
Maybe a warning/failure if this happens. Maybe control over the immutability through attributes.
I think we can notify the host to reboot if needed; but this should definitely be attribute controlled and disabled by default!
