Update acceptance tests to use confine instead of skip_test loops

Now that the test harness supports confine :except, :platform = 'windows'
(and the like), update the tests to use that syntax.
Revert changes to symbolic_modes.rb -- this test should indeed be pending
(it should eventually work on Windows).
Remove EL-related test changes from this commit.

These changes will go to the 2.6.x branch instead.
(#3909) Strip trailing dot from default FQDN

In Facter pull request 200 the default domian can no longer end
with a trailing '.'. This modifies Puppet's defaults to mirror
that change.
(#3909) Move default certname logic to Puppet::Settings

Move certname logic out of defaults.rb so that the logic can be
tested because it's nearly impossible to test when that logic is
executed at readtime for defaults.rb.
(maint) Make Puppet have hard dependency on Facter 2.0

Puppet 3.0 requires Facter 2.0. Make the dependency hard and have Puppet
fail with a useful error message if Facter doesn't exist or is the wrong
version.
(maint) Change Facter dep from exit to raise

Rather than hard exiting from anything that happens to include Puppet
with an incorrect version of Facter, we'll instead raise a
Puppet::Error.

Updating CHANGELOG, conf/redhat/puppet.spec, conf/redhat/rundir-perms.patch, and man pages for 3.0.0rc1 release.
(maint) Add data binding Hiera tests

This patch adds tests for Puppet's support for looking up class parameter
values from Hiera via the data binding indirection.

(#14514) Check for the presence of hiera config

Puppet initializes Hiera using a configuration Hash instead of a
configuration file. Puppet now checks for the existence of the hiera
configuration file and uses an empty configuration and logs a warning
if missing.

We also ensure Hiera uses the Puppet logger by overriding the
configuration hash to set the logger explicitly.

This patch includes updated specs.

(#14609) Fix master initialization when running under Passenger

There is some initialization that happens in CommandLine.rb
(such as parsing the puppet config file) which was being
bypassed when launching puppetmaster as a Rack/Passenger app.

This commit tweaks the rack config to call into CommandLine
directly, which is unfortunate but works for now.
(#14615) Exclude helperscripts in gentoo service provider

The directory `/etc/init.d` does not only store normal initscripts but
also a few helper scripts (like `functions.sh`). The former behaviour was
to treat them as regular initscripts which can lead to dangerous results
especially when running `puppet resource service`. This command will
issue `/etc/init.d/<script> status` on every script inside
`/etc/init.d`. Because the helperscripts don't care about arguments,
this will cause the system to reboot when `/etc/init.d/reboot.sh status` is
executed.

Exclude helperscripts when searching inside `/etc/init.d`.
