This commit sets the splunk_user for Windows to 'administrator'

[ralfbosz]

There was only one 'default' which was 'root', but this user is
non-existent on Windows.

@bastelfreak @ralfbosz is Administrator the correct value for this?

according the README the splunk_user param is the user to run Splunk as.. On Windows sytstems this isn't Administrator normally. I think the default is LocalSystem or something like this.

splunk_user will also set the ownership of some files to Administrator. I don't know if this is correct.

The LocalSystem account is a predefined local account used by the service control manager. This account is not recognized by the security subsystem, so you cannot specify its name in a call to the LookupAccountName function.

On a Windows 2012 R2-server:

C:\windows\system32>puppet resource user localsystem
user { 'localsystem':
ensure => 'absent',
}

Seems to me that user isn't usable in Puppet. A better solution would be making the user 'configurable'.
