Bug #14074: libdir setting is honored on the command line but not in puppet.conf

# Overview #

In order to work around #14073 I've explicitly set the libdir in puppet.conf 
like so:

<pre>
[main]
server=puppet
pluginsync=true
autoflush=true
modulepath=Z:/vagrant/modules
libdir=Z:/vagrant/modules/registry/lib
</pre>

However, this doesn't have the desired effect:

# Expected Behavior #

This command should list registry_key and registry_value in the output:

<pre>
C:\>puppet describe --list
...
registry_key    - .. no documentation ..
registry_value  - .. no documentation ..
</pre>

# Actual Behavior #

The types are not loaded as they should be if they're available on the 
$LOAD_PATH.  As a result, they don't show up in the documentation and are not 
available to the rest of the system.

However, specifying libdir on the command line does in fact make the types and 
providers available:

<pre>
puppet describe --libdir=Z:/vagrant/modules/registry/lib --list
...
registry_key    - .. no documentation ..
registry_value  - .. no documentation ..
</pre>

This demonstrates a clear disconnect between the behavior of libdir specified 
on the command line and the behavior of libdir specified in puppet.conf.

# Impact Data #

Until #14073 is resolved, there is no easy work around to get types to 
automatically load from modules using Puppet Apply.  The command line options 
must be used instead of puppet.conf, or RUBYLIB or some other hack to the 
$LOAD_PATH must be employed.

I haven't heard of any users or customers reporting this yet.
