Tobias Urdin 0bad3b1670 Deprecate Puppet 5 support

Puppet 5 will only recieve fixes and security
updates to May 2020 [1]. See quote [2].

Since we support Puppet 6 already this is not
an issue. The Ussuri release will be around
the 2020-05-13 date [3] which will be almost
the same time as the Puppet 5 EOL.

With this we let users know that they can use
Puppet 5 in Ussuri but that we stop officially
supporting it in V.

My hope is that we could also make this a hard
requirement in V so that we can start using the
features that are >= 6.0.0 only.

[2] "For example, the PE2018.1 LTS uses Puppet Agent 5.5, so the open
source Puppet Agent 5.5 will receive bug fix and security updates until
May 2020."

 prelude: >
     Puppet OpenStack has in this release deprecated Puppet 5 support.
     This version of Puppet will be EOL as of May 2020 which means that
     you can still use it during this release but in the V release using
     Puppet 6 will be a requirement.
