Bug #20715: A resource requiring itself fails silently, no error or warning

----------------------------------------
If someone by mistake makes a resource requires itself, the resource does not
get applied, and no warning or error is reported. Dependent resources also
"fail" silently. Not a very bright thing to do, but might happen by mistake,
pass sometime unoticed and/or be annoying to debug if happens inside of a
somewhat complex manifest. It would be nice to get an error thrown.
Example code (just 'Hey there!' is printed):
<pre>
notify { 'I require myself':
require => Notify['I require myself'],
}
notify { 'I fail silently':
require => Notify['I require myself'],
}
notify { 'Hey there!': }
</pre>
