api.play_on: Clarify the use of `gather_facts`

SIMONIN Matthieu requested to merge fix-52 into master

Situation before this patch.

The gather_facts option was supposed to control whether the facts are gathered prior to the execution of the modules. It could take two values:

  • False -> facts was not gathered at all
  • True -> facts for the hosts maching the provided pattern_hosts were gathered. Note that this contradicted the docstring who stated that the facts were supposed to be gathered on all hosts

Situation with this patch.

gather_fatcs is now an Union of boolean and string:

  • True -> for the hosts maching the provided pattern_hosts were gathered
  • False -> no fact will be gatherd
  • pattern_hosts: str -> facts will be gathered for hosts that match pattern.
