dist-git (master/f26): fix Ruby 2.4 compat, xmlrpc/OpenSSL errors none

Description Michael Watters 2017-04-19 17:11:20 UTC 
Description of problem:

The puppet package provided in Fedora 26 does not work properly due to multiple issues.  After installing the puppet package running the agent results in an error as follows.


[root@mdct-dev27-f26 ~]# puppet agent -t --environment f26_test
/usr/share/ruby/vendor_ruby/puppet/util/monkey_patches.rb:104:in `<class:SSLContext>': undefined method `<<' for nil:NilClass (NoMethodError)

Deleting line 104 in the /usr/share/ruby/vendor_ruby/puppet/util/monkey_patches.rb file does allow the agent to run however another error is then given.

Error: Could not autoload puppet/provider/package/pip3: cannot load such file -- xmlrpc/client
Error: Could not retrieve local facts: Could not autoload puppet/provider/package/pip3: cannot load such file -- xmlrpc/client
Error: Failed to apply catalog: Could not retrieve local facts: Could not autoload puppet/provider/package/pip3: cannot load such file -- xmlrpc/client

This is due to an incorrect dependency on the xmlrpc/client library which is no longer included in ruby 2.4.
