Fix #2929 - Allow checksum to be "none"

File checksum is "md5" by default. When managing local files (not sourced
or content) it might be desirable to not checksum files, especially
when managing deep hierarchies containing many files.

This patch allows to write such manifests:
file {
  "/path/to/deep/hierarchy":
     owner => brice, recurse => true, checksum => none
}

Then puppet(d) won't checksum those files, just manage their ownership.
