David Wilson 3de06ca559 "Ansible compatible" module loader.
Since all Ansible modules ever written are using worst practice Python,
the module loader must be rewritten to cope with their horrors.

Ansible is woeful software:

* AnsibleModule argument declarations appear within the main() function,
  so they can't be introspected prior to execution.

* No if __name__ == '__main__' guard means they can't be introspected
  without triggering execution.

* By default the main() function attempts to read from stdin, hanging
  our IO thread.

* So much unspeakable crap.

This rewrites the module loader to avoid actually running a module if it
can possibly be avoided. The downside is that the new loader must be
aware of far more details of the Python module mechanism. For example
with the new importer, namespace packages are broken at the very least.

On the plus side, now the module loader will be able to cope with
Django.
