Refactor #6698: get rid of semicolons when using code compression

Currently when you have multiple titles listed in one resource type, the last 
attribute of each title must end in a semicolon.
<pre>
file {
  "/tmp/one":
    owner => "root",
    group => "root",
    mode  => "0644";
  "/tmp/two":
    owner => "root",
    group => "root",
    mode  => "0644";
}
</pre>

Would like to make the semicolon unnecessary and allow just commas. (Eventually 
deprecating semicolons, perhaps 3.0) Reasoning is such the extra syntax is 
superfluous and as such is a detriment to learning the DSL. We should endeavor 
to make the language simpler wherever possible, such as this.

<pre>
file {
  "/tmp/one":
    owner => "root",
    group => "root",
    mode  => "0644",
  "/tmp/two":
    owner => "root",
    group => "root",
    mode  => "0644",
}
</pre>
