Title: define abstract methods for file client

Defining abstract methods with proper method signature and docstring will help the implementation.
Especially if the methods are already used from other methods in the base class.

Raising NotImplementedError exception will force the implementation to define methods which are not
implemented.

BTW, this change will make Pylint more happy: http://ec2-23-21-15-64.compute-1.amazonaws.com:8080/job/pylint-salt/39/violations/file/salt/fileclient.py/?
