Puppet Support

If a module fails to have it symlink created during a publish it is designed to save information about the error in the "individual_errors" section of the API. This does not report back to the user through the API. Here is how you can reproduce:

1) setup a normal pulp developer installation
2) edit the code to manually raise an exception (simulation an IOError for example) so that this except block is run.
2) create a puppet repo like:

pulp-admin -u admin -p admin puppet repo create --repo-id zoo-puppet

3) Upload a puppet module to it so it has something to publish like:

pulp-admin -u admin -p admin puppet repo uploads upload --file ./deric-accounts-1.0.2.tar.gz --repo-id zoo-puppet

4) Attempt to publish it and show the raw response output like:

 pulp-admin -u admin -p admin -vv puppet repo publish run --repo-id zoo-puppet

5) Observe the "individual_errors" section in the "progress_report" says "null".

I don't know what is supposed to be there, but the code saves the associated traceback for each error in the code so either a total count or a traceback for each individual error should go there.
