Title: Add unicode supportting for client timeout arg.

salt.client.LocalClient._get_timeout(self, timeout) only process with int and string type timeout value, it will be more in reason to process with unicode type timeout argument as well.
Also Salt-API passes unicode timeout argument to salt.client.LocalClient(), causing timeout argument passed being invalid. This will fix it.
