Bug #14811: launchd service provider doesn't keep up-to-date with on-disk files

When adding a new launchd job, if the manifests have other service resources,
the service provider will frequently be out-of-date and be unable to
start/enable a service from a newly-created launchd plist file.
Looking at debug output, it seems that the first time puppet comes across a
service resource, it reads all the _current_ on-disk launchd plist files. Later
in the manifest, if you add a new launchd plist file and a new service based on
that, the new service will fail to start:
`err: /Stage[main]//Service[com.company.testjob]/ensure: change from absent to
running failed: Unable to find launchd plist for job: com.company.testjob`
I presume this is because the new service resource isn't re-reading the on-disk
plists, as a second puppet run with the same manifests enables the new launchd
job successfully.
As a contrived example to recreate, add part of the output of `sudo puppet
resource service` to the top of a manifest with:
<pre>
file { '/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.company.testjob.plist':
ensure => file,
source => 'file:///tmp/testjob/com.company.testjob.plist'
mode => 0644,
}
service { 'com.company.com':
enable => 'true',
ensure => 'running',
subscribe => File['/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.company.testjob.plist'],
}
</pre>
I'm currently running 2.7.12, but this has been occurring for a long time now
(since 2.6, probably forever).
