Chef >=14 compatibility only?

[fr33l]

Looks like rework in f046999 introduced undump method which requires ruby 2.5+. Chef infra client bundles ruby with it and 13th version has only 2.4.5 ruby.

• Cookbook version used: 5.9.1
• Operating system, version, and patch level - Ubuntu 18.04
• RabbitMQ version provisioned - 3.9.18
• Erlang version provisioned - 24.3.4-1
• Chef infra client - 13.12.14
• RabbitMQ server and client application log files

    undefined method `undump' for "\"user\t.*\t.*\t.*\n\"":String

      cookbook_name "test_user
      recipe_name "default"
      vhost "test"
      permissions ".* .* .*"
    end

I suppose it's either bump compat for this cookbook or rework that undump method?

If you understand how we can rework the method for Ruby 2.4 compat, please submit a PR. Otherwise we can bump compatibility in cookbook's metadata.

Unfortunately, I don't.
