[PR #8580/a3989095 backport][stable-9] merge_variables: correct misleading short description (#8591)
merge_variables: correct misleading short description (#8580)

The short description makes it sound like the plugin would only support
matching a given suffix, while the actual description clarifies the
actual matching capabilities (suffix, prefix or regular expression).

Update the short description accordingly.

(cherry picked from commit a3989095af)

regular expressions, optionally.

description:
- Depending on the value of O(pattern_type), this is a list of prefixes, suffixes, or regular expressions
that will be used to match all variables that should be merged.

description:
- An initial value to start with.
type: raw
override:
description:
- Return an error, print a warning or ignore it when a key will be overwritten.
- The default behavior V(error) makes the plugin fail when a key would be overwritten.
- When V(warn) and V(ignore) are used, note that it is important to know that the variables
are sorted by name before being merged. Keys for later variables in this order will overwrite
keys of the same name for variables earlier in this order. To avoid potential confusion,
better use O(override=error) whenever possible.

accross different hosts (for example a service on a host with its database on another host).
