Write a file based on a template on the Rudder server and data available on the node

To use this method, you need to have:

The template needs to be located in the shared-files folder and can be accessed with:

/var/rudder/configuration-repository/shared-files/PATH_TO_YOUR_FILE

The data that will be used while expanding the template is the data available in the agent at the time of expansion. That means:

Agent's system variables (${sys.*}, ...) and conditions (linux, ...)
data defined during execution (result conditions of generic methods, ...)
conditions based on condition_ generic methods
data defined using variable_* generic methods, which allow for example to load data from local json or yaml files.

Supported templating languages:

This method will provide extra log_warning message if the template was not updated, but the destination file is modified.
