      Generate the salt-thin tarball and print the location of the tarball
      Optional additional mods to include (e.g. mako) can be supplied as a comma
      delimited string.  Permits forcing an overwrite of the output file as well.
  
      CLI Example:
  
      .. code-block:: bash
  
          salt-run thin.generate
          salt-run thin.generate mako
          salt-run thin.generate mako,wempy 1
