Jira (PUP-9055) Compile catalogs on demand with user-specified facts

Title: Message Title

I think the easiest is to use the PAL since it now supports catalog compilation. Since master --compile was something I have been using a lot, I hacked something up using PAL when master --compile was dropped. Here is what I am using for small snippets at the moment:

Puppet.initialize_settings

Puppet[:rich_data]=true

result = Puppet::Pal.in_tmp_environment('production', modulepath: [], facts: {}) do |pal|

  pal.with_catalog_compiler do |c|

    c.evaluate_string(ARGV[0])

    c.with_json_encoding { |encoder| encoder.encode }

end

end

puts result

For example used as:

bundle exec ruby to_catalog.rb 'notify { test: message => "we have a catalog"}'

Obviously the example is very simplistic - but all the options are there to feed in facts from any source, to use `code` or `manifest`, specify a configured environment etc. So to write a new application it is basically the CLI UX work on that application that is needed.
