This replaces references to Hydrogen (in versionadded/versionchanged
directives as well as a few other mentions), to reflect the actual
release number of 2014.1.0.
In pull request #9599, I added code to make salt.utils.copyfile() set
the ownership and permissions of the new file to those of the
pre-existing file. However, this raises an exception when the
destination file doesn't exist, which happens on file.managed states
which are creating new files.
This commit fixes that regression.
state.highstate on it.

The get_{uid,gid,user,group,mode} functions duplicate a lot of work done
in file.stats. this commit changes file.stats slightly to support
getting uid/gid of broken symlinks (code that was in get_{uid,gid}), and
then uses file.stats to supply the uid, gid, etc. for the get_*
functions.
Additionally, the "follow_symlinks" behavior in file.stats is opposite
from everywhere else in the file module, so the default value for this
parameter has been changed to True, and refs to this function from the
file state has been manually passed as False to preserve backwards
compatibility.
When salt.utils.copyfile() uses shutil.move() to move the target file to
the destination, the ownership/permissions from the original file that
existed at the destination path are not preserved. For security reasons,
files cached locally and compared to existing files in file.managed
states are created with ownership of root:root (or user:primarygroup, if
the master is running as non-root), with a mode of 600.
Normally, this would not be an issue since
salt.modules.file.check_perms() is invoked to correct the ownership and
permissions. However, recent modifications to that function have
resulted in the ownership/permissions not being modified if these
parameters are passed to check_perms() as None.
Since the user, group, and mode default to None in file.managed states,
if they are not explicitly defined in a state, this results in is the
newly-created file overwriting the old file, and the
ownership/permissions being left untouched.
This commit modifies salt.utils.copyfile() to restore the old file's
ownership and permissions after shutil.move is invoked to replace the
old file with the new one.
Fixes#9527.

Using str to serializer data is a bad idea as there is no good way
to safely and reliable deserialize it. JSON allows this, and is what
the postgresql returner uses.
