Ansible Plugin

FYI, we can use GALAXY_SERVER[0] in the ansible cli client config and point it to our pulp instance instead of the public galaxy server.

We'll need a change to the ansible galaxy client (which lives in https://github.com/ansible/ansible) to be able to fetch roles from somewhere other than github. I'm imagining that we'll have a url field for roles in which case this should work:

diff --git a/lib/ansible/galaxy/role.py b/lib/ansible/galaxy/role.py

Ansible galaxy cli looks up role by name and owner__username:

Looks like owner__username is just using namespace:
