Use case: e.g. dual homed hosts on production en management network
The inventory_hostname is the regular host name and matches the
dns name on the production network; ansible connects to the host
through a management network; the dns name on the management network
is standardized and equals ${inventory_hostname}-mgt.mynetwork.com
Now this can be configured as the default in group_vars/all:
ansible_ssh_host: {{ inventory_hostname + '-mgt.mynetwork.com' }}
str() throws an UnicodeEncodeError for code points that cannot be
represented in 7-bit ASCII. This makes it impossible to use any
non-ASCII characters in module arguments. Using encode('utf-8')
gives the desired result.

Add fail_on_undefined flag
Add a fail_on_undefined flag to the template and template_from_string methods.
If this flag is true, then re-raise the ninja2.excpetions.UndefinedError instead of
swallowing it.

Optionally fail task on undefined variables
This patch introduces a new configuration option called
error_on_undefined_vars, which defaults to false.
If this option is set to true, then a task which has unevaluated
variables in its arguments will fail instead of running. Output looks
like this:
TASK: [set rabbitmq password] *************************************************
fatal: [10.20.0.7] => Undefined variables: rabbitmq_user, rabbitmq_password
hardcoded lists in ansible code, just add WITH_ITEMS_USES_LIST in a
comment anywhere, and of course, support recieving params as list.

Previous commit c3659741 expanded sudo_user during task construction,
but this is too early as it does not pick up variables set during
the play.
This commit moves sudo_user expansion to the runner after variables
have been merged.
Previously setting force=no caused copy to subversively
fail when target did not exist on remote host.
Caused by Runner._remote_md5 returning 1
when files don't exist, rather than 0.
The old test used syntax that appeared to be bash-specific and did not
work on platforms where /bin/sh did not point to bash. See issue #2742
where copy to solaris hosts failed with the error:
output: {'stdout': '', 'stderr': '/bin/sh: test: argument expected\n',
'rc': 1}
The copy action accepts force=no, which tells it not to replace an
existing file even if it differs from the source. The copy action
plug-in wasn't respecting this option when operated in check mode, so it
would report that changes are necessary in check mode even though copy
would make no changes when run normally.
Runner._remote_md5 was changed to make the logic for setting rc perhaps
a little more clear, and to make sure that rc=0 when the file does not
exist.
Use DEFAULT_EXECUTABLE when no executable is passed to
_low_level_command_exec
Works as a standard constant - can be overridden in all the normal ways
and defaults to /bin/sh
Motiviation is for a user that only has /bin/bash in /etc/sudoers
