Gitab.rb sidekiq queue_groups array quoted.

Affected Puppet, Ruby, OS and module versions/distributions

• Puppet: PE 2021.7.2
• Ruby:
• Distribution: RHEL 7.9
• Module version: 8.1.0

How to reproduce (e.g Puppet code you use)

sidekiq => {
      queue_groups    => '[\\'*\\'] * 4',
    },

OR

sidekiq => {
      queue_groups    => "['*'] * 4",
    },

What are you seeing

Both produce the same result:
gitlab.rb: sidekiq['queue_groups'] = "['*'] * 4"

What behaviour did you expect instead

gitlab.rb: sidekiq['queue_groups'] = ['*'] * 4

Output log

Notice: /Stage[main]/Gitlab::Service/Exec[gitlab_reconfigure]/returns:

Any additional information you'd like to impart

If I try:

sidekiq                 => {
  queue_groups    => ['[\\'*\\'] * 4'],
},

Gitlab.rb: sidekiq['queue_groups'] = ["['*'] * 4"]

The reconfigure doesn't error, but I also don't get 4 sideqik processes.
