Enhancement: Minion to take default configuration settings from the Master

[damon-atkins]

Description of Issue/Question

A minion on establish a connection to a master and being accepts. Pulls 95% of the default settings for the minion from the master.

The local minion configuration then overrides the defaults coming from the master.

Effectively
Hard coded python defaults for minion, which are overridden by whats fetch from the master, which can be override by the local configuration file.

Benefit: Less configuration overhead for Salt-Minion itself.

The alternative to this is the Salt-Master to run a state on the minion, but that takes at least one state run for the configuration to be correct.

hmmm i kind of really like this idea. I'm thinking in the master config someone could set something like:

minion_opts:
  master_alive_interval: 30

and then somehow the minion would have to pick up those new opts by a restart/reload of some sorts. Will approve as a feature request thanks!
