Rudder

After an upgrade from 2.4.11 to 2.8.0~rc2, nodes managed by rudder server cannot update their policy anymore.

failsafe.cf file is still generated using ${node.id} instead of ${rudder.node.id} but ${node.id} is not used anymore. resulting in a failsafe.cf looking like that:

      "uuid"                       string => "${node.id}";

also update.cf has a problem, and the node can't connect anymore to update the server

      "policy_files" string => "/var/rudder/share/${node.id}";   #directory where to look for promises in the server for that client

THis is due because a reload of the technique library occurs before the variable are migrated, leading to a generation using a wrong parameter

The update of technique library should be made after that, or the migration of of variable should trigger a new deployment.
