chown user.group appears to work in linux but not documented (at least not in the chown man page). It also simply doesn't work at all in freebsd (at least on my pfsense machine based on freebsd 11). This changes the provisioner to use the more standard chown user:group syntax.

Please let me know if this introduces some obscure compatibility issue I'm not aware of.

also, not quite sure how to add an acceptance test for the new behavior or whether that would really make sense in this case, as it only fixes changes the end result on a freebsd machine (while it looks like the tests run on linux)
