Chef::Mixin::Template::TemplateError on new ssl attributes

[sarkis]

This commit introduced optional ssl for the proxy, however, it throws this error now if the two attributes are not set in the wrapper cookbook:

I ran into the same issue. As a workaround just add an empty ssl section in the config.json file.
"elasticsearch": { "nginx": { "allow_cluster_api": "true", "port": "80", "ssl": {} }

@marcelpanse thanks for the workaround =)
