Unclear :absent field semantics in file parsing

Description

The fact that absent fields values is ":absent" within records (rather than what was passed as the :absent option when creating the record) is not clear, IMO. I have created a patch which improves the documentation, and adds some code to the test to make this evident and enforced.

It is available as branch "parser-absent" in my git tree: http://marcin.owsiany.pl/tmp/puppet.git

I'm just beginning to learn GIT, and this is the first time I'm submitting changes in this format, mostly as a rehearsal before future submissions, so please let me know if I can make it any better?
