Title: Verify top file return failure on invalid (#345)

Checks completely built top file for invalid keys, such as `''`. This can be
expanded to check for other things that are not expected by salt.

Note:
This is only a prototype, feel free to reject and have me update more

This is the output from `salt-call -l debug state.highstate` the the `top.sls` file contains `''`:

```
salt-call -l debug state.highstate
