Description
Description of Issue/Question
Solaris svr4 packages that have an interactive script (i.e. require an answer file for silent install) cannot be installed via pkg.install.
Steps to Reproduce Issue
On Solaris, attempt to install a svr4 package which has an interactive script
salt-call pkg.install sources='[{"PACKAGE": "/path/to/package.pkg"}]'
The following error will be returned:

pkgadd: ERROR: request script did not complete successfully
Installation of <PACKAGE> was suspended (interaction required).
No changes were made to the system.
[ERROR ] retcode: 5

(Even on Solaris 11, some 3rd parties do not provide IPS based packages and svr4 style packages must still be installed (by overriding the pkg provider to use solarispkg for that packages install))

Research direction
Start with salt/modules/solarispkg.py and its install entry point, then reproduce the failure with the Solaris salt-call pkg.install command shown in the issue. Determine how an answer file should be supplied for interactive SVR4 packages, and verify that installation completes without the pkgadd interaction-required error.
