puppet changes

Scans changes for hosts and displays if they are recurring. Can also show a history of changes for all or single nodes.

For now it just checks daily/hourly/weekly and continious changes. And prints them. Works on windows and linux.

Can also display a list of changes ordered by time. Warnings/errors are filtered out but options can be given to also include them. Do note when getting history for all your hosts it may take a while as all data needs to be retrieved and sorted.
