Feature #3646: no easy way to pass facts to "puppetmasterd --compile"

When running "puppetmasterd --compile ${client_fqdn}", it appears that the 
catalog is compiled as if no facts about the client are available.  Even 
$hostname and $fqdn are undefined.  This can very easily lead to failure to 
compile the catalog, because most people refer to fact variables in their 
catalogs.

It would be nice if there was a way of passing a file full of facts on the 
command line, e.g. "puppetmasterd --compile ${client_fqdn} --factsfile 
${file_full_of_facts}".

It might make sense to default to reading facts from a cache where they might 
have been saved on a previous run, such as 
/var/puppet/yaml/facts/${client_fqdn}.yaml.
