zookeeper user needs a home folder

[jeffbyrnes]

As pointed out by @bwhaley in #142:

@petere pointed out that home dirs are not created, and for me this caused errors in the log like this:

2016-02-20_00:19:38.01251 Feb 20, 2016 12:19:38 AM java.util.prefs.FileSystemPreferences > checkLockFile0ErrorCode
2016-02-20_00:19:38.01254 WARNING: Could not lock User prefs.  Unix error code 2.

2016-02-20_00:19:38.01255 WARNING: Couldn't flush user prefs: java.util.prefs.BackingStoreException: Couldn't get file lock.

I work around this in my wrapper cookbook

directory "/home/#{node['exhibitor']['user']}" do
    action :create
    owner node['exhibitor']['user']
    group node['exhibitor']['user']
    mode '0700'
end

But maybe it should be done when the user is created?

Great, thanks!

I think you missed the resources in that patch.
