Updated version of #2125 to fix CHEF-2911
This pull request allows a version requirement such as ` = 1.0.1` to be specified in either the resource name or the version attribute of a yum_package resource, and modifies the yum package provider to update existing packages based on that requirement. Also adds specs to test this new functionality.

+
+A documented feature of the yum_package provider was the ability to specify a version requirement such as ` = 1.0.1.el5` in the resource name.
+However, this did not actually work. It has now been fixed, and additionally version requirements are now supported in the `version` attribute
+of yum_package as well.
