Can't run augeas() from puppet master

[ColinHebert]

It is currently impossible to run augeas() from puppet master as the newer versions of puppet master use JRuby which does not allow native extensions to be used.

This issue relates to hercules-team/ruby-augeas#9 and https://tickets.puppetlabs.com/browse/MODULES-5170

Attempting to load the library leads to:

# puppetserver ruby -e 'require "augeas"'
LoadError: no such file to load -- _augeas
  require at org/jruby/RubyKernel.java:961
  require at uri:classloader:/META-INF/jruby.home/lib/ruby/stdlib/rubygems/core_ext/kernel_require.rb:54
   <main> at /opt/puppetlabs/puppet/lib/ruby/vendor_ruby/augeas.rb:23
  require at org/jruby/RubyKernel.java:961
   (root) at uri:classloader:/META-INF/jruby.home/lib/ruby/stdlib/rubygems/core_ext/kernel_require.rb:1
   <main> at uri:classloader:/META-INF/jruby.home/lib/ruby/stdlib/rubygems/core_ext/kernel_require.rb:54

_augeas being the native component.

Ah, that's right. I'm not sure if there's a way to fix this really…

@raphink well it'll be mainly dependent on Hercules-team providing FFI bindings (see hercules-team/ruby-augeas#9 )
