Nicole Thomas f9ffcb697a [2016.3] Merge forward from 2015.8 to 2016.3 (#32784)
* 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.

Ubuntu repositories.
