ansible_mitogen: Template become command arguments (become_flags)

Uses the same fallback for (mitogen_sudo et al) as become_exe (see #1173).

The new `Spec.become_flags()` is not yet explicitly tested. Note that it
returns a string (matching the Ansible option of the same name), whereas
`Spec.sudo_args()` returns a list.
