Title: Changed default package name delimiter on yum module for consistency

Most of the package modules will accept multiple package names delimited
by a space. E.g., ``aptitude install p1 p2 p3`` works and so ``salt '*'
pkg.install 'p1 p2 p3'`` also works.

There's a fallback so any existing code delimited by a comma will still
work. Perhaps this should be added to the other package modules since
it's nice not having to surround with quotes.

That said, there's a subtle difference between calling ``yum install p1
p2 p3`` and calling ``yum install p1; yum install p2; yum install p3``
(this module essentially does the latter) and I'm not sure if that's a
problem or how best it should be reconciled.
