Feature Request: Support for disabling the TCP/UDP Socket entirely

[jaredledvina]

New in Sensu 1.3.0 is the ability to disable the TCP/UDP socket entirely: https://github.com/sensu/sensu/blob/master/CHANGELOG.md#130---2018-03-09

Currently, it looks like this module, hard codes configuring the TCP/UDP socket here: https://github.com/sensu/sensu-puppet/blob/master/manifests/client.pp#L102-L105

Ideally, it'd be setup similar to the http_socket allowing it to be completely disabled.

So setting client_bind and client_port to undef does not work, instead the socket_config should be missing entirely, is that correct?

So, when I wrote https://github.com/sensu/sensu/pull/1800/files, I matched how the http_socket worked, where you have to pass in:

{
  "client": {
    "http_socket": {
      "enabled": false
    }
  }
}

to totally disable it, so for the TCP/UDP socket it's:

{
  "client": {
    "socket": {
      "enabled": false
    }
  }
}

let me know if that helps!
https://github.com/sensu/sensu/blob/master/lib/sensu/client/process.rb#L501 for the http_socket code that's relevant as well.
