Without this patch applied the stdlib module has load-order issues with mocha
and rspec-puppet. The root cause has yet to be determined, but we've narrowed
it down to this description:
"If any rspec-puppet example groups run before parser function example groups
and the parser function example groups use mock() then you'll get this error:"
You can exercise this explicitly with:
rspec -fd spec/unit/puppet/{provider,type,parser}
This will ensure rspec runs all of the provider and type spec tests, which are
rspec-puppet ones, before the parser function specs are run. I should also
note we empted out the test in the file_line provider to be nothing except an
empty describe block and this was still sufficient to trigger the load order
error described here.

This patch switches the spec tests for the get_module_path function to
use mock objects. The underlying Puppet::Module.find method has
reasonable test coverage inside of Puppet core so we might as well break
the tight dependency while we're fixing up the specs to use the new
parser scope.
The behavior of the parser function itself should still have complete
coverage even though the tests have switched to mock the implementation
inside of Puppet.
This commit adds a new function called get_module_path.
get_module_path returns the absolute path of a specified module. The
code and functionality is very similar to how templates and files
are detected inside of modules.
the function has been tested against puppet 2.6.10 and 2.7.x
