(#8575) Add loadyaml() function
This change adds a loadyaml() puppet function that takes a path to a YAML data file and returns the contents as a Puppet variable. There is currently no validation of the contents of the file. This commit is intentionally lacking unit tests because of time constraints. Reviewed-by: Dan Bode
