hiera.yaml: Migrate hiera.yaml to puppet 5

Since we migrated to buster, puppet version upgraded to 5.5. So now we can use the hiera v5 as well (and not the experimental v4)

What changed:

  • version at 5
  • define a default backend to yaml (data_hash key)
  • 'path' must be specified up to the filename extension so old 'name' key mostly got renamed to 'path' and completed with extension
  • added the 'name' key to actually describe our entries

doc: https://puppet.com/docs/puppet/4.10/hiera_migrate_v4_yaml.html

Note: I started initially this because i had unexpectedly merge in loader-debian configuration. In the end, it's normal according to the doc. I just did not expected it. In any case, that sidetracked me a bit since i saw we were a bit old in our definition.

Test Plan

bin/octocatalog on some nodes and everything is still in order
