Chef::DataCollector::ResourceReport#resource_identity

We should be able to call the identity of a resource safely, but there
is an edge case where resources that have a lazy property that is both
the name_property and the identity property, it will thow a validation
exception causing the chef-client run to fail. We are not fixing this
case since Chef is actually doing the right thing but we are making the
ResourceReporter smarter so that it detects the failure and sends a
message to the data collector containing a static resource identity
since we were unable to generate a proper one.
