The tags field may contain bad data before it is post_validated, however
some methods assumed it would be a simple list or string. Using itertools
gets us around the problem of the data potentially not being hashable
Fixes#9380
Getting recursive errors otherwise, so this is probably not something
we want to do. This most likely only worked in v1 due to the fact that
module args were templated earlier than the point in Runner() when
they were fed into the templating engine.
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.
