Initial commit to split includes into static imports/dynamic includes
This implements the new include/import syntax for Ansible 2.4:
* include_{tasks,role,variables} = dynamic
* import_{playbook,tasks,role} = static
The old bare `include` will be considered deprecated, as will any use of the `static: {yes|no}` option.
This also adds docs for import/include and reorganizing the "Playbook Reuse" section of the documentation.

Strategies
In 2.0 we added a new way to control play execution,
strategy, by default plays will still run as they used to,
with what we call the linear strategy. All hosts will run
each task before any host starts the next task, using the number of
forks (default 5) to parallelize.
The serial directive can 'batch' this behaviour to a
subset of the hosts, which then run to completion of the play before the
next 'batch' starts.
A second strategy ships with ansible free,
which allows each host to run until the end of the play as fast as it
can.:
- hosts: all
strategy: free
tasks:
...Strategy Plugins
The strategies are implemented via a new type of plugin, this means that in the future new execution types can be added, either locally by users or to Ansible itself by a code contribution.
One example is debug strategy. See playbooks_debugger for
details.
