validate_augeas
--------------
Perform validation of a string using an Augeas lens
The first argument of this function should be a string to
test, and the second argument should be the name of the Augeas lens to use.
If Augeas fails to parse the string with the lens, the compilation will
abort with a parse error.
A third argument can be specified, listing paths which should
not be found in the file. The `$file` variable points to the location
of the temporary file being tested in the Augeas tree.
For example, if you want to make sure your passwd content never contains
a user `foo`, you could write:
validate_augeas($passwdcontent, 'Passwd.lns', ['$file/foo'])
Or if you wanted to ensure that no users used the '/bin/barsh' shell,
you could use:
validate_augeas($passwdcontent, 'Passwd.lns', ['$file/*[shell="/bin/barsh"]']
If a fourth argument is specified, this will be the error message raised and
seen by the user.
A helpful error message can be returned like this:
validate_augeas($sudoerscontent, 'Sudoers.lns', [], 'Failed to validate sudoers content with Augeas')

validate_cmd
-------------
Perform validation of a string with an external command.
The first argument of this function should be a string to
test, and the second argument should be a path to a test command
taking a file as last argument. If the command, launched against
a tempfile containing the passed string, returns a non-null value,
compilation will abort with a parse error.
If a third argument is specified, this will be the error message raised and
seen by the user.
A helpful error message can be returned like this:
Example:
validate_cmd($sudoerscontent, '/usr/sbin/visudo -c -f', 'Visudo failed to validate sudoers content')
