Support multiple filesystems anywhere files can be specified

[ryan-lane]

Current some modules support multiple filesystems, like http, ftp, s3, etc.. It would be really awesome if this support was available everywhere. For instance, it would be really awesome to be able to call state.template on an S3 URL, or to be able to provide an S3 URL to pkg.installed in the sources section.

Good suggestion! I agree that would be awfully handy.

I too would like to be able to write a pkg.installed state that looked like:

jdk8:
  pkg:
    - installed
    - sources:
      - jdk1.8.0_40: s3://ibrsp/depot/jdk8/jdk-8u40-linux-x64.rpm

Of course, such a state currently results in errors similar to the following (posted here for the sake of others' web searches):

[INFO    ] Running state [jdk8] at time 19:03:21.571871

Turned out to be reasonably easy, I think... #53462
