[task] move data to /var/cache

[GeoffWilliams]

There are some instances of state being stored in /etc/os_patching. This isn't recommend as the directory mixes auto-generated state with puppet-written config files. Linux FHS System state should be under /var/lib somewhere [1]

Affected files:

• /etc/os_patching/security_package_updates
• /etc/os_patching/package_updates

Nitpicking?

[GeoffWilliams]

There are no user-servicable parts in /etc/os_patching, therefore the correct location is /var/cache/os_patching:

/var/cache
Application cache data. Such data are locally generated as a result of time-consuming I/O or calculation. The application must be able to regenerate or restore the data. The cached files can be deleted without loss of data
