Remove operatingsystemmajrelease from hieradata's hierarchy as it doesn't have a value set on Ubuntu on anything lower than Facter 2.2. This means Ubuntu installations that aren't running the most up to date Facter version would have compilation failures. Fixes voxpupuli#497

With facter 2.1.0 on Ubuntu Lucid, I get an error that looks like
Since 7a67a9d, data/hiera.yaml specifies looking in operatingsystem/%{::operatingsystem}/%{::operatingsystemmajrelease} for data, but fails in this scenario because operatingsystemmajrelease is undefined.
Facter >= 2.2.0 sets a value for operatingsystemmajrelease in Ubuntu and shouldn't have this problem, but I haven't personally tested this configuration yet.
The most recent version of Facter available from Canonical is 2.1.0 in Utopic, so anyone with a vanilla Ubuntu installation (e.g., not using a very current puppetlabs package or rolling their own) is going to have this problem.
