The set_become_default() function is not needed. All this time, if it
was called it would try to set a value on a passed by value variable
(meaning that it had no effect after returning to the caller). Since
become has been working in v2, this code is not needed. Removing.

Working on the test suite, I tried to replace a call to sudo to a
call to su, and found out that I can't change user to 'nobody'
without changing the option become_flags in ansible.cfg
As this would be dependent on the user and the task, it make more sense
to push the setting there.
tasks were overriding commandline with their defaults, not with the
explicit setting, removed the setting of defaults from task init and
pushed down to play context at last possible moment.
