Specify the correct default values for sudo_flags

Browse source 
The correct default options for sudo_flags can be found at: https://github.com/ansible/ansible/blob/devel/lib/ansible/constants.py#L181

Slightly alter explanation of '-H' so as not to confuse it with -E, --preserve-env (which preserves existing environment variables).

When adding the two other options, include short explanations of those options.

Add note about '-n', which did not appear in 1.x I believe, and which bit me.

Additional flags to pass to sudo when engaging sudo support. The default is '-H -S -n' which sets the HOME environment
variable, prompts for passwords via STDIN, and avoids prompting the user for input of any kind. Note that '-n' will conflict
with using password-less sudo auth, such as pam_ssh_agent_auth. In some situations you may wish to add or remove flags, but
in general most users will not need to change this setting:::
