Fix fact gathering when using --limit
If an operator wants to deploy a single node (e.g. add an additional compute), they may want to use the --limit feature of Ansible to avoid waiting for every play across every node. The problem with this is that --limit will gather facts for that node only, causing template errors such as the infamous ('dict object' has no attribute u'ansible_eth0'"). Ansible has catered to this problem to an extent with it's "delegate_facts" mechanism. The only problem is that in the default 'all nodes' case, we end up with a storm of SSHs as each node SSHs to every other. I'm solving this with a separate task to only use this mechanism when a subset of nodes has been specified (see ansible_play_batch).
