Refactor #14337: Error message when trying to realise virtual resources where
none exist

I was trying to use the puppetlabs-puppet module when I hit a problem with a
very cryptic error message:
<pre>info: Caching catalog for tribily-stage01.local
err: Failed to apply catalog: Parameter notify failed: No title provided and
"undef" is not a valid resource reference</pre>
Not even a 'puppet agent -tvd' run would give any clue as to what happened. I
ended up disabling and running code over and over to find the culprit.
Somewhere in that module, it is blindly assumed that in the else part of an if
statement, some resources needed to be realised. Problem is: they were not
declared virtual to begin with. Here's the offending statement:
<pre> if ! defined(Concat[$puppet_conf]) {
concat { $puppet_conf:
mode => '0644',
owner => 'puppet',
group => 'puppet',
require => $service_require,
notify => $service_notify,
}
}
else {
Concat<| title == $puppet_conf |> {
require => $service_require,
owner => 'puppet',
group => 'puppet',
notify +> $service_notify,
}
}</pre>
I think it would be beneficial for many if that error message was improved on :)
