[BUG] 3006: salt-api OverflowError: Integer value out of range when trying to get the async job status using pepper client

[maxx-bachurin]

Description
The issue happens when I am trying to get the status or description of the salt job using the pepper client. it seems there is a bug in salt-api/msgpack in the serialization/deserialization procedure between salt-api and salt-master.
