What does this PR do?
This execution module exposes Salt's release codenames as functions that can be used to make comparison's to the minion's Salt version.
This is useful when writing states that handle deprecations. By exposing the release codenames, people can use these comparisons in Jinja statements in state files. This is only one example and the use case I wanted to cover here. There may be more that I haven't thought of, but this is a start!
