Bug #10909: Shell out when reading from /proc

----------------------------------------
There are many places in facter where it using ruby's IO.read or IO.readlines 
to read the contents of files in /proc. This is problematic, as it can cause 
ruby to block definitely. It is better to use:

<pre>
Facter::Util::Resolution.exec("/bin/cat #{uptime_file} 2>/dev/null")
</pre>

with an appropriate timeout. This issue was triggering
