Service code is the same for Ubuntu and Redhat
Since we use it later on as 'require'.

Should this really be deprecated? I think $manage_repo and $manage_install have two different purposes:
$manage_installindicates that you want the module to install the Agent (which you can turn off if you have custom modules installing it for you)$manage_repoindicates that you want the module to set up the Agent repo (which you can turn off if you have custom modules setting it up for you).
Moreover, the current PR does not really fix #604, as it's still not possible to install the Agent without setting up the repos on Ubuntu.

It's true that manage_install has more implications than manage_repo but since manage_repo wasn't implemented for Ubuntu, I thought that a wider thing like manage_install (which we needed anyway for #476) could also work for both use cases.
Maybe the wording of the deprecation message should be Set manage_install to false and install datadog-agent manually to achieve the same thing as before. I'll change this.
Another option would be to keep both manage_repo and manage_install but then we have to implement it for Ubuntu as well and given how little these options are used, I prefer having one flag that two. Too many options increase complexity.

This can also be an enum type (ie: running without quotes) so I don't want to force the type. We do this in several other places in the module.
- Add manage_install parameter to disable installing the Agent - Split service and repo management, since service code is the same for all Linuxes while repo code is not.
