Chef::Mixin::ParamsValidate#_pv_coerce

Method to mess with a value before it is validated and stored.

Allows you to transform values into a canonical form that is easy to
work with.

This is passed the value to transform, and is run in the context of the
instance (so it has access to other resource properties). It must return
the value that will be stored in the instance.
