Bug #19727: Duplicate file resource detection/path validation weirdness with
multiple slashes in paths

This was reported by one of our commercial users.
It looks like somewhere between version 2.7.6 and 2.7.20 the validation of file
resource paths was changed in a way that breaks detection of duplicate
resources. The user tested (and I was able to duplicate their results)
application of the following resources to systems running Puppet 2.7.6 and
2.7.20:
<pre>
file { '/tmp/test':
ensure => directory,
owner => root,
group => root,
mode => '0755'
}
file { '//tmp/test':
ensure => file,
owner => nobody,
group => nobody,
mode => '0644'
}
</pre>
Under 2.7.6 Puppet detects a collision between the two resources. Under 2.7.20
it treats them as two separate resources. Given the two paths are generally
functionally identical I'm thinking the earlier version's behavior is more
correct and the change may have been unintentional.
