Alex Vandiver c0e240277b tornado: Remove fingerprinting, write out .tmp files always.
Fingerprinting the config is somewhat brittle -- it requires either
custom bootstrapping for old (fingerprint-less) configs, and may have
false-positives.

Since generating the config is lightweight, do so into the .tmp files,
and compare the output to the originals to determine if there are
changes to apply.

In order to both surface errors, as well as notify the user in case a
restart is necessary, we must run it twice.  The `onlyif`
functionality cannot show configuration errors to the user, only
determine if the command runs or not.  We thus run the command once,
judging errors as "interesting" enough to run the actual command,
whose failure will be verbose in Puppet and halt any steps that depend
on it.

Removing the `onlyif` would result in `stage_updated_sharding` showing
up in the output of every Puppet run, which obscures the important
messages it displays when an update to sharding is necessary.
Removing the `command` (e.g. making it an `echo`) would result in
removing the ability to report configuration errors.  We thus have no
choice but to run it twice; this is thankfully low-overhead.
