Bug: puppet-agent 8.2.0 on gentoo not detecting active init

[joshcooper]

@samuraiii can you provide the output of puppet agent -td for both a working example and a non-working case? Also note we merged some changes recently for gentoo in e007a70, but it hasn't been released yet. You might try installing a nightly puppet gem from https://nightlies.puppet.com/downloads/gems/puppet8-nightly/index.html to see if it resolves the issue

puppet 7.24.0 log is located here:
https://gist.github.com/samuraiii/40443cadc0803855b69febd1e1d319cb

and puppet 8.3.1 here:
https://gist.github.com/samuraiii/de56648a6055d1a531a1cb6cf377c67d

I might try the gem, but not any time soon...
I have never done this before and I do not have time to research it right now.

@samuraiii I think the behavior change is because before @bastelfreak change, gentoo didn't have a default service provider. In the upcoming 8.x release, only systemd should be the default, so I'm going to mark this as a dup of PUP-11593
