Since the chef-client provisioner is cleaning the node and client at the chef-server from the provisioned node
it needs to have a flexible configuration
This is replacing the used knife flags: -s '<chef-server-url>' -k '/tmp/packer-chef-client/client.pem' -u '<client-name>'
and puts their values into a generated knife.rb
Additionally the knife.rb may include the optional ssl_verify_mode attribute to enable the verify mode verify_none
Background:
When deleting node and client to a self-hosted chef-server using self signed cerfiticates the usage of
knife node delete <node-name> -y -s '<chef-server-url>' -k '/tmp/packer-chef-client/client.pem' -u '<client-name>'
will lead into a ssl verification failure.
The error output of the knife call is somthing like:

This updates the example for adding DigitalOcean
as a provider in the beginning tutorial. It looks
like it hadn't been updated in some time, and
was using old settings. I've updated it and
confirmed it works.
when file used with download direction we don't need
to check source on builder because it on machine.
