I noticed the user module took a "ssh\_key=generate". As this was  
really acting as a boolean, I've fixed this.

It now takes:

generate\_ssh\_key=yes|no

This was new for 0.9, so technically, it's still fair game.

Please let me know when you see other things in the module space that  
act like booleans but aren't... we want to fix those.
