Sync from the Ansible/ansible repo

It now uses Travis-CI to run a auto sync job every day to sync changes from Ansible/ansible repos' devel branch to this devel branch.

If you cannot wait for the next auto-sync, go to the Travis CI's VSChina/ansible travis branch, click the restart build.

1. Click our repo's Settings, temporarily close the protected of devel branch
2. Go to the Travis CI's VSChina/ansible for-push branch, click the restart build
3. Don't forget to open the protect for devel branch again
