50b7964f8e Fix the documentation booleans so they use "yes" and "no"
Both modules seboolean and zfs have not been adapted since they defer from the default (either by having a 'null' or special state, or prefering "on"/"off" for state indication.

d8459425a0 Turn 'fail' and 'debug' modules into action_plugins
This makes more sense as there is no purpose in running these remotely.

03af450bdc Module to assist users in understanding Ansible
After helping someone on IRC he was interested to have this debug module in upstream. This module simply 'prints' a message, and can be ordered to fail if needed. It helps to troubleshoot or understand inventory/facts issues and/or experiment with statements and conditions using only_if.

Here is a small example playbook:

```yaml
- hosts: all
  tasks:
  - local_action: debug msg="System $inventory_hostname has uuid ${ansible_product_uuid}"
  - local_action: debug msg="System $inventory_hostname lacks a gateway" fail=yes
    only_if: "is_unset('$ansible_default_ipv4.gateway')"
  - local_action: debug msg="System $inventory_hostname has gateway ${ansible_default_ipv4.gateway}"
    only_if: "is_set('$ansible_default_ipv4.gateway')"
```

outputting:
```
[root@moria ansible]# ansible-playbook -v -l localhost:x220 test6.yml

PLAY [all] *********************

GATHERING FACTS *********************
ok: [localhost]
ok: [x220]

TASK: [debug msg="System $inventory_hostname has uuid $ansible_product_uuid"] *********************
ok: [localhost] => {"msg": "System localhost has uuid d125a48c-364f-4e65-b225-fed42ed61fac"}
ok: [x220] => {"msg": "System x220 has uuid d125a48c-364f-4e65-b225-fed42ed61fac"}

TASK: [debug msg="System $inventory_hostname lacks a gateway" fail=yes] *********************
failed: [localhost] => {"failed": true, "msg": "System localhost lacks a gateway", "rc": 1}
ok: [x220] => {"msg": "System x220 has gateway 192.168.1.1"}

PLAY RECAP *********************
localhost                      : ok=2    changed=0    unreachable=0    failed=1
x220                           : ok=3    changed=0    unreachable=0    failed=0

```

I had some other plans for the module, like displaying host inventory and complete inventory to help understand inventory and facts modules, but that would require an action-plugin for transfering inventory information etc... And I am not sure this is wanted/best done in a module.
