Ohai Chefs!

Thanks to Chris Roberts at Heavy Water, COOK-1406 is fixed!

We’ve released version 2.0.2 of the postgresql cookbook with the fix.

The fix involves rescuing the chef\_gem install of the pg gem, and then  
manipulating the Ruby extension configuration so it finds the correct  
library paths to build the gem, using the system packages.

The “compile libpq from source and install in Omnibus” is _not_ required  
for this. Yay!

Additionally, the git repository is updated for test-kitchen, as we  
weren’t testing the ruby recipe, since it failed on Ubuntu.

Thanks Chris, and Heavy Water, for your contribution. This is awesome.

Thanks a lot Chris! This was a super annoying problem.

Awesome. Now I just need to get us back in sync with upstream.
