Bug #2347: when absent parameter is set on file type, it fails if the user
parameter is a non-existing user

If you are trying to remove a file by specifying the absent parameter, and
there is also a user parameter attached with a non-existing user, it fails...
but only when the file exists. Observe:
<pre>
/tmp$ cat foo.pp
file { '/tmp/ffo': ensure => absent, owner => nonexisting_user; }
/tmp$ puppet foo.pp
/tmp$ echo $?
0
/tmp$
</pre>
but, if the file *exists* then you get a failure:
<pre>
/tmp$ touch ffo
/tmp$ puppet foo.pp
err: //File[/tmp/ffo]: Failed to retrieve current state of resource: Could not
find user nonexisting_user
</pre>
This makes it difficult to remove a user and a file all in one swoop, such as
in the case when you want to remove any resource managed within any define that
you set to absent.
