Title: (maint) Use default config when hiera.yaml is missing

Hiera no longer raises an exception when the hiera configuration file
is missing; instead log a warning and use the following default config:

{
:backends => ["yaml"],
:hierarchy => "common",
:logger => "console"
}

This patch includes updated tests.
