There was a confusion between the valid values for defaults.gathering
(explicit/implicit/smart) and a play's gather_facts setting (boolean),
which resulted in gathering=explicit being ignored.
The --force-handlers command line argument was not correctly running
handlers on hosts which had tasks that later failed. This corrects that,
and also allows you to specify force_handlers in ansible.cfg or in a
play.

* Roles can now be given a friendly name as third field in role spec csv
* Roles can be installed from URL (not just from archived SCMs)
* Integration tests to demonstrate this
* Unit tests to ensure that role spec parsing works as expected
Ensure that if meta/main.yml has dependencies containing URLs
these are correctly resolved at playbook runtime.
Update role_name during run time so that output of e.g. task names
look sensible
