The previous implementation used to find the resource in the catalog was causing the following style of error on the Puppetserver.

Server Error: Evaluation Error: Error while evaluating a Function Call, Could not autoload puppet/type/file_line: Attempt to redefine entity 'http://puppet.com/2016.1/runtime/type/file_line'

This only occurred the first time trying to compile the catalog. Subsequent runs against the same puppetserver would work fine. I don't fully understand what was causing the type to be reloaded, and this was only an issue if generate types had been used to create the .resource_types/*.pp metadata file for the type. Presumably puppet is upset when it tries to load the ruby definition of a type after it's already loaded the pcore version??

In this commit, we switch to the same mechanism used by the defined function.
