Bug #6760: Selecting a terminus for an indirection-based interface should be 
possible using an option.

Branch: 


In the current implementation of interfaces, when invoking an indirector action 
through the command-line you may specify the terminus using the "--from" 
option, e.g.

    puppet catalog find <name> --from yaml

However when invoking the interface action from within Ruby you must set the 
terminus globally:

    Puppet::Interface::Catalog.set_terminus :yaml
    Puppet::Interface::Catalog.find(<name>)

This carries the risk that a user of the interface action will forget to reset 
the terminus back to its original value.  Also, it would be nice if we could 
integrate the "--from" option into an options hash to the interface action (see 
#6758), so that invoking the interface action from within Ruby would look 
similar to invoking it from the command line:

    Puppet::Interface::Catalog.find(<name>, :from => :yaml)
