Bug #8491: "Stack level too deep" when unknown fact is requested

Affected Facter version: 1.6.0
When an extra facts .rb file tries to call Facter.value(:foo) for a
non-existent fact, Facter goes into an infinite recursion. Eventually it fails
with the error message "stack level too deep".
For example, stack/stack.rb contains:
Facter.value(:foo)
When running Facter:
<pre>
$ FACTERLIB=../stack bin/facter
