Note: In v1 we fix this by transforming into unicode just before we use
it (when we send it to jinja2) because jinja2 cannot handle non-ascii
characters in str.
In v2 our model is that all text values need to be stored as unicode
type internally. So we transform this to unicode when we read it from
the inventory file and save it into the internal dict instead.

Prevents an exception from raising in some corner cases where SSH might
be misconfigured. It seems not to fix a specific problem, although it
makes the method a little bit more solid.
We have been caching the paths to the plugins but before we would only
cache the specific plugin that we were looking for. This meant that we
might search through all of the plugin directories before finding the
specific module we were interested in. The next plugin we needed we
might again search through all the plugin directories before finding the
plugin we wanted.
This new code will cache all the potential plugins in each directory
searched. For a play that only uses one plugin we'll only search
through directories until we encounter the directory that has the proper
plugin. For a large playbook with many plugins used we'll search
through each directory at most once each.

Dynamic task includes still need some work, this is a rough first version.
* doesn't work with handler sections of playbooks yet
* when using include + with*, the insertion order is backwards
* fix potential for task lists to be unsynchronized when using the linear
strategy, as the include conditional could be predicated on an inventory
variable
