The Cookstyle cops department: Chef/Modernize

For many users the apt::default cookbook is used only to update apt’s package cache. Chef Infra Client 12.7 and later include an apt_update resource which should be used to perform this instead. Keep in mind that some users will want to stick with the apt::default recipe as it also installs packages necessary for using https repositories on Debian systems and manages some configuration files.
