gemspec: bump dependency on puppet-strings

[b4ldr]

This is required so that projects that depend on bolt can make use of the more recent puppet-strings release.

I ran the doc:all rake task and there where no changes

Hi @b4ldr is there a particular feature in puppet-strings you are looking to take advantage of?

[b4ldr]

Yes the @deprecated flag

[donoghuc]

Thanks! Looking in to a bunch of gem bumps as we work on getting bolt ready to be compatible with puppet 8. I will make sure this gets looked at as part of that.

[b4ldr]

any update on this, its preventing any project that depends on bolt from making use of the recent improvements in puppet-strings

[donoghuc]

Are you managing bolt's gem dependencies in your workflow or are you depending on the gems we ship with bolt system packages? Trying to get a sense of whether a gem release with this relaxed dependency will unblock you or if you need us to ship the new puppet-strings in bolt packages?

My main motivation is to start using the deprecated tag in the puppetlabs-stdlib repo but the same flow applies for any puppet module that use bolt or litmnus for testing. stdlib is bringing this dependency in via puppet_litmus from its Gemfile

We have had to do similar patches in the past

Cool. This should work for your use case. We merged this change in #3216 . I would expect this to eventually make it in to bolt system packages, but for now if you are using bolt as a gem, we can get this released and that should help.

great thanks <3
