Foreman chokes on "puppet cert clean host.does.not.exist.example.com" as of Puppet 2.7.19 and thus can't provision new hosts

Description

In Puppet 2.7.19 a bug in puppet cert clean was fixed. Previously, the command always terminated with exit status 0, even if the certificate to be cleaned did not exist. Now, as of Puppet 2.7.19 (see https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/14860), the command terminates with exit status 24, which is the correct behaviour.

Foreman, or probably the Foreman smart proxy, should take this behavior change into account when provisioning hosts. Otherwise it is not possible to provision new hosts as retrieving the /unattended/provision resource fails with a 500 error, resulting from the smart proxy on the Puppet server (proxying Puppet CA) failing to correctly run puppetca --clean:

As is probably easy to surmise, downgrading Puppet to 2.7.18, at least on the Puppetmaster/Puppet CA server on which the smart proxy runs, works around this problem.
