Rich MegginsonandRichard Megginson 091570301d test: ensure role gathers the facts it uses by having test clear_facts before include_role
The role gathers the facts it uses.  For example, if the user uses
`ANSIBLE_GATHERING=explicit`, the role uses the `setup` module with the
facts and subsets it requires.

This change allows us to test this.  Before every role invocation, the test
will use `meta: clear_facts` so that the role starts with no facts.

Create a task file tests/tasks/run_role_with_clear_facts.yml to do the tasks
to clear the facts and run the role.  Note that this means we don't need to
use `gather_facts` for the tests.

Some vars defined using `ansible_facts` have been changed to be defined with
`set_fact` instead.  This is because of the fact that `vars` are lazily
evaluated - the var might be referenced when the facts have been cleared, and
will issue an error like `ansible_facts["distribution"] is undefined`.  This is
typically done for blocks that have a `when` condition that uses `ansible_facts`
and the block has a role invocation using run_role_with_clear_facts.yml
These have been rewritten to define the `when` condition using `set_fact`.  This
is because the `when` condition is evaluated every time a task is invoked in the
block, and if the facts are cleared, this will raise an undefined variable error.
