Description

Describe the Enhancement:

We should move fips? from chef-config into chef-utils. We can make the chef-config method backwards compatible for now, but this sort of thing belongs in the chef-utils going forward.

Research direction

Start by locating the fips? method in chef-config and the chef-utils package, then inspect how chef-config exposes it today. The change is complete when fips? is available from chef-utils while the chef-config method remains backwards compatible; run the relevant existing tests if they are present.
