the only_if call in replication recipe ignores configuration done by cookbooks later in the run list

Howdy.

This is the PR i have created to address the issue:
#343

And here's some background:
the only_if block is being evaluated very early in a chef run. So early that my wrapper cookbooks have not yet been evaluated.

This is problematic because i use a wrapper cookbook to set the value of node["percona"]["server"]["replication"]["host"] in attributes.

But, because percona cookbook is included (and it's ruby evaluated) before my cookbook has an opportunity to insert data into the node["percona"]["server"]["replication"]["host"] map the call server["replication"]["host"] != "" || server["role"].include?("master") evaluates to false.

by putting a lazy{} block in the only if block, the chef-client will not make a decision about weather or not to render the SQL template until after all attributes have been loaded, during the converge phase instead of the compile phase.
