Title: salt-syndic exec script instantiates a minion rather than a syndic

Fixing the issue introduced in https://github.com/saltstack/salt/commit/ee0072d3e8d394ef16843cb9b65ce75a1d2d325b#scripts/salt-syndic

The issue is reproducible by setting up a simple master->syndic->minion setup. When running salt-syndic on the syndic host, the logs show that a salt minion is started and issuing commands via the master confirms that a minion is running rather than a syndic.
