Salt-SSH Jinja2 pillar/grains module property-like loading borks as it returns a function wrapper

[The-Loeki]

Salt-SSH does some magical override-fu on pillars & grains.
This is the most likely cause for the fact that both the pillar and grain module cannot be used in conjunction with Jinja2's property-like syntax.

Reproduce

thiswontwork:
  {{ salt.pillar.get('mypillar:data', False) }}
neitherwillthis:
  {{ salt.grains.get('init', False) }}
thiswill:
  {{ salt['pillar.get']('mypillar:data', False) }}
thistoo:
  {{ pillar.get('mypillar:data', False) }}
andthis:
  {{ salt.file.file_exists('/tmp', False) }}

Output roughly:

thiswontwork:
      <function caller at 0x7f4edb3a0848>
neitherwillthis:
      <function caller at 0x7f4edb3a0848>
thiswill:
      False
thistoo:
      False
andthis:
     True

What command are you running to get that output?

@gtmanfred this is a 'regular' SLS file, so state.sls imateapot or something like that ;)

Might be partially fixed by #40400
