Inventory
=========
Inventory has been refactored to be implemented via plugins and now allows for multiple sources. This change is mostly transparent to users.
One exception is the ``inventory_dir``, which is now a host variable; previously it could only have one value so it was set globally. This means you cannot use it early in plays anymore to determine ``hosts:`` or similar keywords.
The ``inventory_file`` remains unchaged, as it was always host specific.
