puppet: added basic Windows support
This implements the bare minimum needed to get puppet up and running on
our Windows machines as a scheduled task.
Removed outdated README.windows.txt and added a few Windows-specific
notes to README.txt.
Added Windows bootstrap script.
Tested with puppet 3.0.0rc2.
One notable problem which has not yet been solved is that the
majority of our Windows machines don't have any meaningful FQDN, and
therefore won't be usable in nodes/private_nodes in the same way as our
non-Windows hosts.
