pw_hash is not working with bcrypt-y

[Albroy]

Describe the Bug

Using the pw_hash() function with the 'bcrypt-y' algorithm inside an ini_setting resource causes a catalog compilation failure with an "Invalid argument" error when using Puppet stdlib version 9.7.0.

In stdlib 9.7.0, when I try to do this :

  ini_setting { 'my_thing.PASSWORD_HASH':
    ensure  => present,
    setting => 'my_thing.PASSWORD_HASH',
    value   => pw_hash($password, 'bcrypt-y','10$abcdefghijklmnopqrstuv),
    path    => $my_path,
  }

I get the following error :

Info: Loading facts
Notice: Requesting catalog from X
Notice: Catalog compiled by X
Error: Could not retrieve catalog from remote server: Error 500 on SERVER: Server Error: Evaluation Error: Error while evaluating a Function Call, Invalid argument - Invalid argument (file: /etc/puppetlabs/code/environments/X/site/profiles/manifests/my_thing.pp, line: 229, column: 16) on node X
