Missing dependency for provision.pl

Description

If you install OpenNMS from yum repository it is not possible to use provision.pl. It requires to install perl-XML-Twig manually. The provision.pl should be in an external opennms-tools project with the perl-XML-Twig dependency or OpenNMS should add this RPM dependency.

Since not necessarily all distros we support have these modules around (without pulling in extra package repositories), a deliberate choice was made not to require these in the RPMs (and RPM doesn't support "optional" dependencies...).

That said, we should at least tell users what to do when those files are not available. provision.pl has been updated to throw an error that tells you how to commonly install the required modules on RPM- and Debian-based distros, as well as how to do it manually with CPAN.
