Josh Patterson d3da6b3939 soup: actively push a grid-wide highstate to remote minions after upgrade
The per-minion highstate schedule moved from 15 minutes to 120 minutes
(salt:schedule:highstate_interval_minutes), so after soup upgrades the manager,
non-manager minions could otherwise sit on the old version for up to ~2.5 hours
(interval + splay) before their scheduled highstate applies the new code.

Add so-grid-highstate, a detached best-effort driver soup fires at the end of an
upgrade. It uses the existing orch.push_batch runner to highstate the grid in
role tiers (searchnodes/heavynodes -> receivers -> the rest), skips single-node
grids, and when Salt itself was upgraded first runs an untiered pass and waits
for minions to reconnect on the new salt-minion before the tiered pass.

soup gains a push_grid_highstate() helper (guarded, launched via setsid nohup so
an SSH drop can't kill it) called on both the hotfix and full-upgrade paths,
wires the previously-dead -b flag through as --batch (now accepting N or N%),
and updates the distributed-deployment message to reflect the active push.
