Ruby load error when using splunk::forwarder on Windows

[natemccurdy]

Affected Puppet, Ruby, OS and module versions/distributions

• Puppet: 4.8.1 (PE 2016.5.1)
• Ruby: 2.1.9
• Distribution: Agent is Windows 2016, Master is RHEL 7
• Module version: 5.1.0

How to reproduce (e.g Puppet code you use)

class { 'splunk::params':
  server => 'splunk.foo.net',
}

class { 'splunk::forwarder':
  package_source => '\\foo.net\dfs\splunk_forwarder\splunkforwarder-6.3.3-f44afce176d0-x64-release.msi'
}

What are you seeing

What behaviour did you expect instead

Splunk Forwarder MSI installed and configured with no error messages.

Any additional information you'd like to impart

This is a Ruby load issue that looks awfully familiar to #86

Actually, looking at it now, it seems that there just needs to be a new module version cut that includes #95 in it.

This has resolved in version v6.0.0

Thanks @petems !!!
