Right now when you set module_config entries in your pillar data
like this:
salt:
  minion:
    module_config:
      smtp.from: 'Kali Salt <admins+salt@kali.org>'
      smtp.to: 'Kali Admins <admins+salt@kali.org>'
      smtp.host: localhost
      smtp.subject: 'Results of salt actions on'
      smtp.fields: id,fun

On each run, you will always a different ordering of the various
fields in the minion configuration file, leading to spurious restart
of the minion and admin annoyance:

          ID: salt-minion
    Function: file.recurse

With the change here, this bad behaviour is gone...

* CVE-2021-25283 enables Jinja2 safe mode, which breaks use of
  `'dict' in x.__class__.__name__` workaround
* Workaround no longer needed as CentOS 6 is EOL

This prevents the `return` key being duplicated in the minion config by L1205

Remove commented version and associated comment, as we still have the same
option earlier in config with an other valid comment.

closes #367

* Minion/returner/elasticsearch yaml read fix.

* Improved the documentation for the elasticsearch returner

Proposed pull request for elasticsearch returner in the minion.d/f_defaults.conf file

Added parameters new to 2016.03 (or simply missing in the existing config).

Checks for 'dict' in `x.__class__.__name__` b/c
neither `type()` nor `isinstance()` is available.

Some vars were missing {{ }}
Indentation was broken
isinstance is not available in Salt

Using the old salt.engines pillar and merging it with the new
salt.[master|minion].engines pillar.
This way, it doesn't break previous behavior and permits to define
common engines on master and minion.
In the merge, the salt.[master|minion].engines pillar takes precedence
if conflict as it's the more specific pillar.

the engines are now configured using the following pillars:

* salt.master.engines
* salt.minion.engines

instead of a global salt.engines pillar.

Note: the pillar.example provided seems to assume this behaviour.
(the pillar is salt.master.engines.slack and not salt.engines.slack)

- When it's iterable, the minion could be running on the master
- When it's a string, there's no advantage over just specifying
  `salt:minion:master`

The user will already have it's /etc/salt/minion file, so it doesn't need all this info, and it makes easier to know what has been generated and what not

Salt writes it's schedule file to /etc/salt/{minion,master}.d/_schedule.conf

We don't want to stomp all over Salt's files, but we do want a pristine
starting point to lay down our managed config. So we use clean: True on the
file.recurse call, but we tell it to ignore files that start with an _

We have to rename the current config file (_defaults.conf) because it will be
ignored by the rule that ignores Salt's _* config files.

This also means we need to clean up old config files (_defaults.conf) and
restart the service if we cleaned it up.

This will fix #39

And it will be backwards compatible with the current pillar configuration.

This is only needed for salt versions older than 2014.7 that do not
define the global "salt" variable in such context.
