Refactor facts module to work with facter 3.x

Description
We currently use facter 2 (from EPEL), switching to facter 3.x does not work as facter 3 uses own Ruby. We will perhaps need to spawn new process.

Facter 3 still provides ruby bindings but on RPM systems the Puppet AIO install has a Provides: facter. That facter installs Ruby bindings for the bundled ruby version rather than the system ruby. When EPEL is not available but Puppet AIO is, then you don't get the ruby bindings for the system ruby.

Or as Ewoud said "we can also make facter from our repos to be based on system Ruby". That would do it as well.

- Category changed from Puppet to Facts

For what it's worth: Facter 4 is written in Ruby again, so this should no longer be an issue.
