+* allowed inventory file to be read from a pipe

+* added Solaris distribution facts

+* fixed bug along error path in quantum_network module

+* user password update mode is controllable in user module now (creation vs every time)

+* added check mode support to the OpenBSD package module

+* internal system by which a module can process multiple with_items entries is now streamlined (see yum, apt, etc) so any module can request this behavior. If used, parameter given to {{ item }} will be joined by commas and passed once, rather than invoking the module N times.  Previously this was available to a select few packaging modules only.  Now any module can specify WITH_ITEMS_WANTS_LIST in the source and get this behavior.

+* fix for setup module epoch time in Solaris
