Switching the indirection from using settings for configuration

to requiring explicit configuration.  This means that if
you as an application developer want to use a different indirection
terminus then you have to specify it; something like:

    Puppet::Node.terminus_class = :ldap

Caches use the same kind of configuration:

    Puppet::Node.cache_class = :memory

Accordingly, I've removed the existing setting definitions
from the defaults.rb.
