Bug #21284: puppet apply --lastrunfile=/dev/null does bad things to special 
devices

----------------------------------------
I don't need puppet reports right now, and am working on a system with a 
limited /var partition. I thought I could work around this temporarily by doing 
something like:

puppet apply --no-report --lastrunfile=/dev/null --lastrunreport=/dev/null 
--postrun_command='rm -rf /var/lib/puppet' ....

Unfortunately, due to changes introduced at 
https://github.com/puppetlabs/puppet/commit/e40439196af14f90d8a321999b782f24a3fa59f6,
 my /dev/null is turned into a regular file.

It would be good if puppet could fail fast in the case of options like 
lastrunfile taking parameters that don't make sense, or to not change 
permissions on that file if they are something else? I'm sure the real solution 
is more nuanced.

Regards,
JB
