Bug #5012: File should autorequire Mounts

I want to control mounpoints and files with Puppet. This is a common example:

    file  {'/foo': ensure => directory}
    mount {'/foo': ensure => mounted }
    file  {'/foo/bar': ensure => file}

Unfortunately `File[/foo/bar]` just autorequires `File[/foo]` so it can happen 
that puppet creates `/foo` and `/foo/bar` and then mount `/foo`, so `/foo/bar` 
disappears and consumes diskspace. Because I cannot think of an use case where 
a directory or file does NOT depend on the parent mount, I propose to add an 
autorequire statement in the file-type.
