(#13610) Add is_function_available to stdlib

This function provides a simple wrapper around
Puppet::Parser::Functions.function for access within Puppet manifests.
This will allow users to check whether or not a plugin or functionality
such as hiera is installed on the server.
Merge branch 'pull-59'

This closes GH-59
Add floor function implementation and unit tests
Merge pull request #135 from willaerk/master

Add floor function implementation and unit tests
add suffix function to accompany the prefix function
prefix: fix doc typo Examles -> Examples
(maint) better error reporting for prefix and suffix

When prefix and suffix did error checking with positional arguments,
they would not report the position of the argument that failed to
validate. This commit changes the messages to indicate which argument
failed.
Merge branch 'pull-138'

This closes GH-138.
