Description

Puppetserver 7.0 adopted opt-out telemetry, meaning telemetry is sent by default. The installer does have an option to disable it.

Foreman traditionally has had a policy where no telemetry was sent by default (though the RSS feed could be considered that since it sends the Foreman version number). Disabling the telemetry would bring align Puppetserver to this policy.

See https://puppet.com/docs/puppet/7/server/puppet_server_usage_telemetry.html as well.

Fixes #35728 - Disable telemetry by default

Puppetserver 7.0 adopted opt-out telemetry1, meaning telemetry is sent
by default. Foreman traditionally has had a policy where no telemetry
was sent by default. Disabling the telemetry would bring align
Puppetserver to this policy.

It uses Optional[Boolean] so the Foreman installer can explicitly record
the users answer if they choose anything, where undef means whatever
the module thinks is best.
