Kafo

kafo_parsers returns a list of validations for each Puppet module, referencing Puppet::Parser AST objects. This should be replaced by a more generic validation mechanism or at worst, removed/discarded.

Using parser functions directly will be difficult with Puppet under AIO, as the classes won't be accessible. This will also be a problem with the parser cache in #14447 as it will serialise these classes on Puppet 3 but be unable to deserialise them.

One possibility might be to reimplement or redistribute with modifications the functions from stdlib in Kafo (or another gem) and then use standard naming to load the validation checks instead of serialising the class.

This will also have the benefit of removing some complex code that loads parser functions from the Puppet modulepath inside Kafo.
