Dag Wieers fe6e4f8286 New "dense" callback plugin
The goal for the "dense" output is to only show changes and failures on-screen (the Unix-way).
However, since we still want to have a sense of progress, we use terminal capabilities to display progress.

 - On screen there should only be relevant stuff
    - How far are we ? (during run, last line)
    - What issues occured
    - What changes occured
    - Diff output

 - If verbosity increases, act as default output
   So that users can easily switch to default for troubleshooting

 - Leave previous task output on screen
   - If we would clear the line at the start of a task, there would often
     be no information at all
   - We use the cursor to indicate where in the task we are.
     Output after the prompt is the output of the previous task
   - Use the same color-conventions of Ansible

This is still a work in progress.
It was released to give a glimpse of what would be possible.

The Ansible callback mechanism currently does not have all the functionality we need to do this efficiently.
