This allows not messing up the wonderful error reporting that is
carefully created. Instead of:
$ ansible-playbook foo.yml
[ERROR]: ERROR! 'foo' is not a valid attribute for a Task The error appears
to have been in '/Users/marca/dev/git-repos/ansible/foo.yml': line 4, column 7,
but may be elsewhere in the file depending on the exact syntax problem. The
offending line appears to be: tasks: - name: do something ^ here
we get:
$ ansible-playbook foo.yml
ERROR! 'foo' is not a valid attribute for a Task
The error appears to have been in '/Users/marca/dev/git-repos/ansible/foo.yml': line 4, column 7, but may
be elsewhere in the file depending on the exact syntax problem.
The offending line appears to be:
tasks:
- name: do something
^ here
which is much nicer.
The --force-handlers command line argument was not correctly running
handlers on hosts which had tasks that later failed. This corrects that,
and also allows you to specify force_handlers in ansible.cfg or in a
play.

There is an optional issue_tracker_url setting that can be set in

commented out so that it can be filled out if desired.
(less) 2> /dev/null would fail if stdin is /dev/null.
Sinceless --version do not read anything from stdin,
it is perfect for seeing if the software exist or not.
Also replace the whole os system detection by directly
using subprocess ( as we use it elsewhere, we already
depend on it ).
