After agent upgrade to puppet-agent-7.8.0-1.aix7.1.ppc.rpm with facter 4.2, facter is producing "odd number of arguments for Hash" errors. This was not the case when using facter 3.14

The issue is caused by https://github.com/puppetlabs/facter/blob/main/lib/facter/util/aix/info_extractor.rb#L14 which makes the assumption that keys are sparated by multiple spaces, and it will created erroneous data  for a line like: {noformat} [1]> line => "MOUNT POINT:        /dev/1 LABEL:          /dev/1\n" [2]> line.split(/:\s*|\s{2,}/) => ["MOUNT POINT", "/dev/1 LABEL", "/dev/1\n"] {noformat} This Array is passed to Hash which raises `odd number of arguments because the number of arguments is even: https://github.com/puppetlabs/facter/blob/main/lib/facter/util/aix/info_extractor.rb#L19 {noformat} Hash[*['a', 'b', 'c']] ArgumentError: odd number of arguments for Hash {noformat} ~* Please see Zendesk Support tab for further comments and attachments.~

This was not the case when using facter 3.14 The issue is caused by https://github.com/puppetlabs/facter/blob/main/lib/facter/util/aix/info_extractor.rb#L14 which makes the assumption that keys are sparated by multiple spaces, and it will created erroneous data  for a line like: {noformat} [1]> line => "MOUNT POINT:        /dev/1 LABEL:          /dev/1\n" [2]> line.split(/:\s*|\s{2,}/) => ["MOUNT POINT", "/dev/1 LABEL", "/dev/1\n"] {noformat}

This Array is passed to Hash which raises `odd number of arguments ` because the number of arguments is even odd :
