Chef::Client#register

Determine our private key and set up the connection to the Chef server.

Skips registration and fires the `skipping_registration` event if
Chef::Config.client_key is unspecified or already exists.

If Chef::Config.client_key does not exist, we register the client with the
Chef server and fire the registration_start and registration_completed events.
