Add support for become_flags on the task level (#17310)
Working on the test suite, I tried to replace a call to sudo to a call to su, and found out that I can't change user to 'nobody' without changing the option become_flags in ansible.cfg As this would be dependent on the user and the task, it make more sense to push the setting there.
