[Bug 1313595] [NEW] [SRU] Puppet master fails with 'stack level too deep' error when storeconfigs = true

[Lionel Porcheron]

Public bug reported:

[IMPACT]

* puppet setup with storeconfig activated
* On client run, master fail with "stack level too deep" error, and client do no apply any of its manifests
* not all clients are affected, but if one client is failing it will fail forever
* This issue is known and fixed on upsteam, https://tickets.puppetlabs.com/browse/PUP-1064

[TESTCASE]

To reproduce this issue, you need a puppet master with storeconfig=true running on Ubuntu Trusty. 
Apply the rules with "puppet agent -t"
Without fix, you may face an "stack level too deep", with fix, manifests should be applied as expected.

[REGRESSION POTENTIAL]

Minimal, fix is upstream and applied in new puppet versions.

On our side, we have validated the fix since once week on a > 500
machines setup and this error does not occur anymore.
