Title: Less awkward file.check_hash(...)

Named parameters on the command line are given on the form "key=val".
This makes things awkward when Salt command line needs to be written on
the form:

salt file.check_hash /etc/myfile hash=md5=abcabcabc

I'd much prefer

salt file.check_hash /etc/myfile md5:absabcabc
