* json encode arguments passed to an execution module function call
this fixes problems where you could pass a string to a module function,
which thanks to the yaml decoder which is used when parsing command line
arguments could change its type entirely. for example:
__salt__['test.echo')('{foo: bar}')
the test.echo function just returns the argument it's given. however,
because it's being called through a salt-call process like this:
salt-call --local test.echo {foo: bar}
salt thinks it's yaml and therefore yaml decodes it. the return value
from the test.echo call above is therefore a dict, not a string.

This adds an explanation of the python-cffi dep added in pygit2 0.21.0,

issue which tracks the progress of adding pygit2 to our Debian and
Ubuntu repositories.
