apt-transport-https required on Ubuntu when installing version >= 3.0.0.

When using this module to install mongodb on Ubuntu 16.04 using this config:

class {'::mongodb::globals':
manage_package_repo => true,
server_package_name => mongodb-org,
service_name => mongod,
version => 3.4.10,
}->
class {'::mongodb::server':
auth => true,
bind_ip => ['127.0.0.1'],
}

The repo that is added uses https, but a default installation of Ubuntu 16.04 server doesn't have apt-transport-https installed and so apt-get update fails to download indexes from the new repo. Altering the URLs in mongodb/manifests/repo.pp to use http instead of https works as expected.

The issue is within puppetlabs-apt. This is similar to puppetlabs/puppetlabs-apt#714 , but for Ubuntu 16.04 this time.

puppetlabs/puppetlabs-apt#720 has merged. @robertmbaker , can you test with the latest puppetlabs-apt module?

Updating to puppetlabs-apt 4.3.0 also solves this issue.

It appears puppetlabs-apt's version was being held back by another module's dependencies. Once I resolved the dependency issue and went through the module list and upgraded everything I could I was able to deploy mongodb using puppet-mongodb unaltered without issue.

Thank you!
