Jeff McCune 4725c97102 (#8717) Make merge() function work with Ruby 1.8.5
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.

Merges two or more hashes together and returns the resulting hash.
For example:
$hash1 = {'one' => 1, 'two', => 2}
$hash1 = {'two' => 2, 'three', => 2}
$merged_hash = merge($hash1, $hash2)
# merged_hash = {'one' => 1, 'two' => 2, 'three' => 2}

raise Puppet::ParseError, ("merge(): wrong number of arguments (#{args.length}; must be at least 2)")
end
# The hash we accumulate into
accumulator = Hash.new
# Merge into the accumulator hash
args.each do |arg|
unless arg.is_a?(Hash)
raise Puppet::ParseError, "merge: unexpected argument type #{arg.class}, only expects hash arguments"
end
accumulator.merge!(arg)
end
# Return the fully merged hash
