The 'always_run' task clause allows one to execute a task even in
check mode.
While here implement Runner.noop_on_check() to check if a runner
really should execute its task, with respect to check mode option
and 'always_run' clause.
Also add the optional 'jinja2' argument to check_conditional() :
it allows to give this function a jinja2 expression without exposing
the 'jinja2_compare' implementation mechanism.
The action doesn't actually change anything on a system, so setting
the status to changed is wrong. add_host is much like set_fact in that
regard.
Since changed is False by default, there is no need to explicity set
it, so just create an empty dict for result and add to it from there.
name is used throughout Ansible, it's the "standard". This change
applies that standard to the add_host routine and updates the docs to
reflect that. Related to https://github.com/ansible/ansible/pull/3254
This ensures we don't litter remote systems with temporary directories
that don't get cleaned up, as well as speeds things up from not having
to touch every node.
