Bug #13595: initialize_everything_for_tests couples modules to specific Puppet
versions

Ran into this while attempting to run spec tests on the puppetlabs-ntp module
from Git:
Failure/Error: Unable to find matching line from backtrace
NoMethodError:
undefined method `initialize_everything_for_tests' for
#<Puppet::Util::Settings:0xb71fb30c>
It turns out that :initialize_everything_for_tests was recently added to Puppet
itself:
https://github.com/puppetlabs/puppet/commit/56c55d54474d97958f0f21e715237cf3f2117668
There are two problems here:
1) We have no current documentation or method of knowing which version of
Puppet is required for a particular module. We tie to specific module versions
but not to Puppet itself - anyone trying to test the latest puppetlabs-ntp
against the most recently cut version of Puppet or PE will fail.
2) We should be iterating on modules much more quickly than we are on core, but
this means that modules need to be slightly more backward-compatible - we can't
rely on the "latest and greatest" stuff in master or 2.7.x if modules are going
to be updated frequently. It might make more sense to move this type of
function out to stdlib.
Commenting out the lines calling this function in the spec_helper.rb make the
problem go away, but I suspect we're going to run into a lot more of these if
we don't figure out an approach to it.
