This reverts commit d6d23b495cda0e154b4e73982acc43e586564c0e.
This backwards-compatible additional functionality is targeted at the
next minor release. There are already backwards-incompatible changes in
the master branch so we need to establish a new minor branch.

This reverts commit 74e6411157b8df1af9a24c17971e3236f3096529, reversing
changes made to 417d219aa6e42f2a16af42c98aa063fc1d9d2ecd.
Here's why:
Actually... I just screwed this up.
I merged this new fact into 2.4.x but it's not fixing any bug. It's adding a
new fact, so this should go into master and we should release 2.5 since this is
new, backwards-compatible functionality.

Without this patch the pe_major_version, pe_minor_version, and
pe_patch_version facts directly depend on the pe_version fact in a
manner that calls split directly on the return value.
This is a problem because Fact values are not always guaranteed to
return strings, or objects that respond to split. This patch is a
defensive measure to ensure we're always calling the split method on a
string object.
If the Fact returns nil, this will be converted to an empty string
responding to split.

As many PE modules have PE specific functionality, but are deployed to all
nodes, including FOSS nodes, it is valuable to be able to selectively enable
those PE specific functions. These facts allow modules to use the is_pe fact to
determine whether the module should be used or not. The facts include is_pe,
pe_version, pe_major_version, pe_minor_version, and pe_patch_version. For PE
2.6.0 those facts would have values true, 2.6.0, 2, 6, and 0, respectively.
