added delete_values() and delete_undef_values() functions
Merge pull request #166 from ptomulik/delete_undef_values

Add delete_values() and delete_undef_values() functions
changed the validate_slength function to accept a min length

An optional third parameter can be given a min length. The function
then only passes successfully, if all strings are in the range
min_length <= string <= max_length

update and fix function and unit tests

the check for the minlength has to be written differently
because 0 values should be possible. We now check
a) if the input is convertible, and throw a ParseError and
b) if the input .is_a?(Numeric) and ask for a positive number
it's not as clean as for maxlength, but keeps a similar behaviour

refined the error checking for the min length

try to convert to Integer(args[2]) and fail,
if it's not possible

changed the tests accordingly to the new parameter checking
Merge pull request #167 from mhellmic/minlength

extend the validate_slength function to accept a minimum length
Fix validate_slength, arg.length should be args[0].length

During a puppet run an error will be thrown and a puppet run will fail completely (when using validate_slength):
undefined local variable or method `arg' for #<Puppet::Parser::Scope:0x7f243c236948>

(maint) Fix location_for helper method

Without this patch the location_for helper method in the Gemfile
incorrectly assumes the mdata variable has a value.  This patch
addresses the problem by explicitly binding the regular expression match
results to the mdata variable to ensure it has a value when accessed by
index.
