Bug #15300: Pluginsync collisions

I had a problem come up in training last week involving synced facts that 
brought out a larger problem in pluginsync.

So if I create a module 'one' and define a fact in it called 'myfact', then 
create a module 'two' and also define a fact there called 'myfact' they will 
collide. The fact in 'two' will win because it comes later in the directory 
globbing. But worse is that they will be continuously fighting. On an agent run 
you can see this fact being overwritten to 'one/myfact' and then 'two/myfact' 
every single time.

This is horrible for usability because it's not clear which fact will be 
called, and it's a terrible waste of bandwidth, etc.
