Implement NilFact to solve the no fact found issue

Change By:	Bogdan Irimie

Right now cfacter outputs
{code:java}
```

cfacter abc cde
abc =>

cde => {code}
```

and facter NG does not output anything
{code:java}
```
./bin/facter-ng abc cde
```
{code}
If we create a NillFact that will return nil for any fact that is not found, we can implement the same behaviour as cfacter with minimum changes (probably only in QueryParser)
