README update: clarify the site-apt preferences options
The README described a few things that were not true relating to the apt/preferences file. First of all it said you could ship a 'file', but preferences.pp very clearly uses the 'content => $custom_preferences' parameter, which will not take file sources, only templates. Secondly, it seemed to imply that you could just drop the custom preferences into your site-apt and it would work. But you actually need to set the $custom_preferences to indicate the content source. Lastly, it said that you could specify a host-specific file in the site-apt module, but there is no facility for this (nor can you use files). Perhaps this is where this module is going eventually, once we have a preferences.d possibility? Until then, it makes more sense to have it reflect the current situation.
