This commit replaces the example in the merge function with a much clearer
one. It also mentions that the rightmost value wins in the event of duplicated
hash keys.
The accounts module is making use of validate_array() and
validate_string() which do not exist int he stdlib module without this
patch.
This patch adds the two functions to the stdlib with unit tests.

The previous behavior of the merge() function used Array#inject with two
arguments. Ruby 1.8.5 only supports inject being used with one
argument.
This change initializes and empty Hash object and merges each argument
into the accumulator. The last argument still "wins" in the merge.
rspec tests (cd spec; rspec **/*_spec.rb) verified as passing with this
change.

In Puppet, it is not possible to reassign hash
values.
This function allows a reasonable way to perform
hash munging in Puppet.

It is difficult to use existance of keys in a hash
as a boolean condition in Puppet (see #8705)
This function provides a working solution until
the underlying issue in Puppet can be resolved.

This change adds a loadyaml() puppet function that takes a path to a
YAML data file and returns the contents as a Puppet variable. There is
currently no validation of the contents of the file.
This commit is intentionally lacking unit tests because of time
constraints.

This isn't directly related to #8010, but rather indirectly fills the
need to allow the end user to configure where data values are looked up.
This allows the namespace to be passed as a class parameter. A module
may then quickly and easily look up data from the user-defined
namespace.
This function aborts catalog compilation if any of the passed
values are not true or false. Note, this catches the string
values of true and false correct and will abort catalog
compilation if they are not boolean values.

While developing Puppet Modules with class parameters, data from the
user should be validated as per the Style Guide. Puppet should fail
early and hard in the situation of invalid data being passed into the
module.
This function provides a more concise method to the alternative of using
if statements in the Puppet manifests.
