Fix `changed` status that always returns False with composer.
This [previous PR](https://github.com/ansible/ansible-modules-extras/pull/61) had fixed the issue but because of a [Composer recent change](cb336a5416) stderr is now used for reporting information meant for humans while stdout is more for the output of the command.
This PR would definilty solve this issue.
Some packages attempt to prompt the user for certain settings during
installation. Thus, this parameter sets the environment variable
$BATCH to 'yes', which forces package installation scripts to accept
default values for these interactive prompts. This should work for all
prompts that have a default value and aren't implemented through a
custom script (as this variable is built into the ports/package system).
FIXME: Package install should fail if it prompts and batch isn't set;
currently, the install hangs indefinitely.
TODO: Allow user to specify the answers to certain prompts.
I (github.com/mwpher) have NOT tested this with any packages besides
bsdstats. It's a small improvement, but not a complete answer to all
the complexities of package installation.
In case of release repositories or other special cases you might not
need the autorefreshing of the repos. This patch adds a configure
option instead of hard enabling this.

re.match in has_changed function never worked properly, because match
requires searched sequence to be present exactly at a start of processed
string, which is not the case here.
module.exit_json() does not like when the "changed" variable contains a
match object:
TypeError: <_sre.SRE_Match object at 0x81e2ae58> is not JSON serializable
