Ignore EPIPE to avoid tracebacks when piping output to other commands

For example:

  $ ansible web --list-hosts | head -n1
  hosts (7):
  ERROR! Unexpected Exception: [Errno 32] Broken pipe
  Traceback (most recent call last):
    File "/home/lamby/git/private/lamby-ansible2/.venv/bin/ansible", line 114, in <module>
      display.display("to see the full traceback, use -vvv")
    File "/home/lamby/git/private/lamby-ansible2/.venv/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/ansible/utils/display.py", line 133, in display
      sys.stdout.flush()
  IOError: [Errno 32] Broken pipe

Such a pipe target will close up shop early when its seen enough input,
causing ansible to print an ugly traceback.
