Add pre/post client side commands

This adds the ability to run one more more commands before or after the
rsync runs on the client side.  This can be used for database snapshots,
dumps, etc.

+### Back Up Pre and Post Actions
+
+When backing up clients hosting services like databases, you may want to run a
+script to snapshot or quiesce the service. You can do this by specifying pre
+or post wrapper actions. These will be run on the client immediately before or
+after the rsync operation.
+
+For example, to export the contents of the puppetdb database before running a
+backup of your puppetmaster:
+
+```puppet
+
+class profiles::puppetmaster {
+ rsnapshot::client {
+ cmd_wrapper_preexec => ['/usr/sbin/puppetdb export -o /root/puppetdb.export --port 8083'],
+ cmd_wrapper_postexec => ['rm -f /root/puppetdb.export'],
+ }
+}
