make git_pillar and pillar_roots share top/sls files and be compiled
together.

Default: ``False``
This option allows for external pillar sources to be evaluated before
:conf_master:`pillar_roots`. This allows for targeting file system pillar from
ext_pillar.
:conf_master:`pillar_roots`. External pillar data is evaluated separately from
:conf_master:`pillar_roots` pillar data, and then both sets of pillar data are
merged into a single pillar dictionary, so the value of this config option will
have an impact on which key "wins" when there is one of the same name in both
the external pillar data and :conf_master:`pillar_roots` pillar data. By
setting this option to ``True``, ext_pillar keys will be overridden by
:conf_master:`pillar_roots`, while leaving it as ``False`` will allow
ext_pillar keys to override those from :conf_master:`pillar_roots`.
.. note::
For a while, this config option did not work as specified above, because of
a bug in Pillar compilation. This bug has been resolved in version 2016.3.4
and later.
