Add custom facts to puppet

Just needed a fast way to set up facts with a couple of commands on the machine where I'm using/testing puppet manifests.

Surprissingly I found what I was looking for digging in Vagrant code. Put your facts in environment variables, prefixed with 'FACTER_':

# Define your facts as variables
export FACTER_YOURCUSTOMFACT=value1
export FACTER_OTHERFACT=value2

puppet apply /path/to/puppet/test/main.pp

Happy testing!
