Release Notes Summary:
Facter 3 allowed short flags to be combined, such as {{-jp}} or {{-jd}}. In Facter 4, short flags should be declared separately, such as {{-j -p}} or {{-j -d}}.

Trying to run `facter -jp` or `facter -dv` does not work, resulting in an error:

[2021-05-24 10:34:46.955480 ] ERROR Facter::OptionsValidator - unrecognised option '-p'

Some of the combinations works, for example `facter -jd`

At the first glance seems that options defined with class_option can be combined, but the ones defined with a specific mapping error out.
