Bug #23243: Dies when empty, executable file placed in facts.d

* Affected Facter version: 1.7.2
----------------------------------------
When an empty file is placed in /etc/facter/facts.d and its mode is executable,
facter dies with the following error:
/usr/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/facter/util/loader.rb:95: command not found:
/etc/facter/facts.d/${filename}.rb
Error: undefined method `each_line' for nil:NilClass
In my particular case, a puppet manifest is used to create a Ruby file in this
directory. Often the manifest runs without issue but in some (10-20%) instances
puppet places a "${filename}.puppettmp_${number}" file in that directory with
executable mode, and dies before it removes the temp file. This completely
breaks facter and puppet, requiring that this file be manually deleted.
This appears to be a race condition within Puppet, and I wasn't sure whether to
report this as a Facter or a Puppet bug. Please advise.
