    Be more explicit about why SSH arguments are added

    This adds vvvvv log messages that spell out in detail where each SSH
    command-line argument is obtained from.

    Unfortunately, we can't be sure if, say, self._play_context.remote_user
    is obtained from ANSIBLE_REMOTE_USER in the environment, remote_user in
    ansible.cfg, -u on the command line, or an ansible_ssh_user setting in
    the inventory or on a task or play. In some cases, e.g. timeout, we
    can't even be sure if it was set by the user or just a default.

    Nevertheless, on the theory that at five v's you can use all the hints
    available, I've mentioned the possible sources in the log messages.

    Note that this caveat applies only to the arguments that ssh.py adds by
    itself. In the case of ssh_args and ssh_extra_args, we know where they
    are from, and say so, though we can't say WHERE in the inventory they
    may be set (e.g. in host_vars or group_vars etc.).

Date:   Mon Aug 10 20:48:50 2015 +0530

    Allow ansible_ssh_args to be set as an inventory variable

    Before this change, ssh_args could be set only in the [ssh_connection]
    section of ansible.cfg, and was applied to all hosts. Now it's possible
    to set ansible_ssh_args as an inventory variable (directly, or through
    group_vars or host_vars) to selectively override the global setting.

    Note that the default ControlPath settings are applied only if ssh_args
    is not set, and this is true of ansible_ssh_args as well. So if you want
    to override ssh_args but continue to set ControlPath, you'll need to
    repeat the appropriate options when setting ansible_ssh_args.

    (If you only need to add options to the default ssh_args, you may be
    able to use the ansible_ssh_extra_args inventory variable instead.)

Author: Abhijit Menon-Sen <ams@2ndQuadrant.com>
Date:   Mon Aug 10 19:42:30 2015 +0530

    Allow overriding ansible_ssh_extra_args on the command-line

    This patch makes it possible to do:

        ansible somehost -m setup \
            --ssh-extra-args '-o ProxyCommand="ssh -W %h:%p -q user@bouncer.example.com"'

    This overrides the inventory setting, if any, of ansible_ssh_extra_args.

    Based on a patch originally by @Richard2ndQuadrant.

commit b023ace8a8
Author: Abhijit Menon-Sen <ams@2ndQuadrant.com>
Date:   Mon Aug 10 19:06:19 2015 +0530

    Add an ansible_ssh_extra_args inventory variable

    This can be used to configure a per-host or per-group ProxyCommand to
    connect to hosts through a jumphost, e.g.:

        inventory:
            [gatewayed]
            foo ansible_ssh_host=192.0.2.1

        group_vars/gatewayed.yml:
            ansible_ssh_extra_args: '-o ProxyCommand="ssh -W %h:%p -q bounceuser@gateway.example.com"'

    Note that this variable is used in addition to any ssh_args configured
    in the [ssh_connection] section of ansible.cfg (so you don't need to
    repeat the ControlPath settings in ansible_ssh_extra_args).
