We dropped support for Ruby 2.5 in Facter in #2674.

However, this broke compatibility with Puppetserver 7 in rare circumstances in which Facter 4.6.0/4.6.1 was being used in conjunction with Puppetserver < 7.9.0. Up until 7.9.0, Puppetserver used JRuby 9.2.y.z, which is compatible with MRI Ruby 2.5.

This PR reverts the changes made in #2674 and limits Thor to < 1.3.0, as newer versions drop support for Ruby 2.5.

Facter is a runtime dependency of Puppet. The Puppet 7 series uses Ruby
2.5 as its minimum Ruby version.

Thor is a runtime dependency of Facter. Thor dropped Ruby 2.5 support
with version 1.3.0.

This commits sets Facter's Gemspec to use Thor < 1.3.0.

Since puppet#main requires ruby >= 3.1 https://github.com/puppetlabs/puppet/blob/62b1cd63e096c01883cc1a9e1a05b03d4497598d/.gemspec#L24, once puppet#7.x goes EOL, I'm thinking a future version of facter should require >= 3.1 too. Maybe Facter 5? Could you file an issue so we don't forget?

Is this really correct? I'd expect bundler to figure out that it can't use thor 1.3 if they have the correct metadata. Or is Ruby 2.5's bundler broken?
