Instead of writing breadcrumb files; leverage the action of :create_if_missing

Based on our past conversations I won't bother submitting a PR for this.
Your cookbook uses action :create here https://github.com/brianbianco/redisio/blob/190a0e0bfb5190798e8aadfee1d1d63ba6218c31/providers/configure.rb#L228 and then later you drop the breadcrumb here https://github.com/brianbianco/redisio/blob/190a0e0bfb5190798e8aadfee1d1d63ba6218c31/providers/configure.rb#L301
Not what most people expect; and really a lot of people expect to be able to delete a configuration file and run chef and have it regenerated... this doesn't happen because the breadcrumb exists

Good thing I don't use this cookbook anymore because yeah it's a problem just the author took didn't care for seriously almost 2 years.
If only the author donated years of hard work then had other things to do and community members, instead of using energy solving the problem, do things like post comments like this.
This is the thanks people get for donating their time. Ask yourself, if this is the reward you received how much of your time would you donate?
Been there done that; tried to offer help but it wasn't well received so I didn't bother helping you.
