Title: (#15464) Make contributing easy via bundle Gemfile

Without this patch the process of figuring out how to quickly set up a
development and testing environment for the Puppet _application_ (not a
gem library) is unnecessarily complicated.

This patch addresses the problem by providing a Bundler compatible Gemfile
that specifies all of the Gem dependencies for the Puppet 2.7 application.

Puppet contributors can now easily get a working development and testing
environment using this sequence of commands:

$ git clone --branch 2.7.x git://github.com/puppetlabs/puppet.git
$ cd puppet/
$ bundle install # Install all required dependencies
$ rspec

The .noexec.yaml file excludes the `rake` command so that the Gemfile
doesn't raise an exception if the `rubygems-bundler` Gem is installed and
automatically running `bundle exec` for us.

The Gemfile.lock contains the exact dependency versions. This file is
included in the version control system because we're treating Puppet as an
application rather than a library.
