The dependency chain should not include roles below the parent, as it
can introduce very weird things like conditionals from child deps impacting
non-related roles.
Fixes#25136
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.
* Make sure include_role inherit variables from parent role
Setting the parent of task blocks generated by include_role after they
have been produced is not sufficient - it means the tasks don't have the
correct dependency chain set afterwards, and therefore, don't properly
inherit variables from outer roles.
In addition to manually setting the parents, pass the dep_chain when
compiling the role, such that variables are correctly imported.
Fixes#18540.
