chef: knife bootstrap named_run_list not supported

Hello,

$ knife -v
Chef: 12.6.0

Test Kitchen already supports named_run_list but knife does not. This doesn’t allow to do knife bootstrap based on Policyfile with named_run_list.

Hello,

Here’s my use case for a named_run_list in bootstrap:

I have a node that I want to bootstrap with an initial base configuration. Like let’s say having chef-client running as a service
Once I have a set of nodes bootstrap, I want to apply the actual runlist (like the default run_list) in that policy.

That way we can have a fast bootstrap process for bootstrapping multiple machines without being blocked by the main runlist of my nodes.
