[3006.x] fire event at job start

[Legrems]

What does this PR do?

We ran into some issues with a large amount of minions in our salt cluster. We wanted an ack from minions that they were starting job. The salt/job/<jid>/new wasn't enough, since it doesn't imply that the job will/have ever be started.

This PR make salt-minion fire an even when a minion start a job.

This code was meant to be deployed in our production, so the patch were made to be as faulty resistent as possible (hence the decorators for *args and **kwargs, in a non-existent file)

What issues does this PR fix or reference?

Unsure if any similar issue was created for this particular wanted behaviour

New Behavior

The salt-minion now fire an event under custom/job/<jid>/started/<minion_id> when starting a job.

Personally, I'd prefer calling it explicitly instead of using a decorator... I know its a lot of duplicate code.

Alternatively, create a utility function and call that out in the function bodies(instead of using the decorator).

This is a new feature and the PR should be against master, not 3006.x

@Legrems Are you able to port this to the master branch please?
