Resolved issues

Syntactically incorrect types cause nil types in Puppet::InfoService::ClassInformationService

Previously, when a type was incorrectly specified, Puppet’s class_information_service ignored the error and produced an empty type specification. Puppet now produces a warning and assigns a default type in the nil case. PUP-11981.
