Bug #3648: autorequire failure with subdirectory inside recursive file resource

If you have a file resource that recursively creates a directory hierarchy, and
another file resource that stores a file somewhere in that directory hierarchy,
then the two resources may be evaluated in the wrong order. The autorequire
handling, which usually causes a file to require its parent directory, doesn't
work in this case.
<pre>
class myclass {
file { "/topdir/subdir/filename":
ensure => file,
content => "testing",
# autorequires File["/topdir/subdir"], but doesn't notice
# that /topdir/subdir is actually created by recursion in
# the File["/topdir"] resource.
}
file { "/topdir":
ensure => directory,
recurse => inf,
source => "puppet:///myclass/topdir",
# assuming <modulepath>/myclass/files/topdir exists
# on the puppetmaster, and assuming it contains
# the "subdir" subdirectory, this resource
# will create "/topdir/subdir" on the client,
# but this sometimes happens too late for files
# that should live in that subdirectory.
}
}
</pre>
