Output Normalization and Compliance IDs - Rackspace Edition

Summary

In an effort to normalize the output from the compliance plugins, and provide a consistent identifier for the output, we are releasing a patch to the Rackspace compliance plugin that makes the following improvements:

ID generation is more consistent between audits.

All results should have a policy value reported.

The majority of results should have actual value or error reported. The exception to this is policies that use a "report" check type. 

Potential Impacts:

There are some changes to the structure of the custom_item audit check type. If utilizing custom Rackspace audit files, contact support for additional details about the required changes.  Any customers that rely on exact content matches of actual values by using third party tools or custom audit files may have failed results following the update. This would include customers that use the known good functionality from tools that provide baseline or gold image auditing.
