Feanil Patel 0abcebf1e4 Don't convert numbers and booleans to strings.
Before this change if a variable was of type int or bool and the variable was referenced
by another variable, the type would change to string.

eg. defaults/main.yml
```
PORT: 4567
OTHER_CONFIG:
  secret1: "so_secret"
  secret2: "even_more_secret"

CONFIG:
  hostname: "some_hostname"
  port: "{{ PORT }}"
  secrets: "{{ OTHER_CONFIG }}"
```

If you output `CONFIG` to json or yaml, the port would get represented in the output as a
string instead of as a number, but secrets would get represented as a dictionary.  This is
a mis-match in behaviour where some "types" are retained and others are not.  This change
should fix the issue.

Update template test to also test var retainment.

Make the template changes in v2.
Update to only short-circuit for booleans and numbers.

Ansible Test System

Folders

unit

Unit tests that test small pieces of code not suited for the integration test layer, usually very API based, and should leverage mock interfaces rather than producing side effects.

Playbook engine code is better suited for integration tests.

Requirements: sudo pip install paramiko PyYAML jinja2 httplib2 passlib nose mock

integration

Integration test layer, constructed using playbooks.

Some tests may require cloud credentials, others will not, and destructive tests are separated from non-destructive so a subset can be run on development machines.
