Puppet resource types are usually backed by multiple implementations called `providers`,
which handle variance between platforms and tools.

Different providers are suitable or unsuitable on different platforms based on things
like the presence of a given tool.

Here are all of the provider-backed types and their different providers.  Any unmentioned
types do not use providers yet.
