Bug Description

TLDR: Today's minor update workflow (overcloud stack update -i) is used to update packages and apply puppet in order to bring a node uptodate

The way it works today is basically that yum_update.sh is called on each node and once all nodes are through the update we will reapply puppet (amongst other things). This works well but is a bit limited in certain scenarios. Imagine the following need:
- We need to ship a fixed resource-agents package and run certain pcs commands to amend some pacemaker configuration
- The problem is that we cannot do this inside yum_update.sh because there is no guarantee that we have the newer resource-agents package on all nodes (we can only guarantee it is there on a single node)

Probably the only way to fix such a need/scenario is to make sure the updated resource-agent is pulled in via yum_update.sh and then abuse pacemaker_resource_restart.sh to do any changes that are necessary.

One thing we could probably do is to document exactly how/when to ship fixes in the minor/update workflow and how/when to ship them via an overcloud deploy running against an existing cloud.
