Closes ansible#1189. This will cause the settings in Ansible to override the system settings. That will have no effect except on systems that have an out-of-Ansible configuration that disables automatic installation of recommended packages. Previously, ansible would use the OS default whenever install_recommends wasn't part of the playbook. This change will cause the Ansible default configuration setting of installing recommended packages to override the configuration files set on the OS for things installed through ansible, even when there is no install_recommends specified in the playbook. Because the OS default matches the Ansible default, this shouldn't have wide impact.

If, on a system:
APT::Install-Recommends "false";is set (eg /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/), then such an Ansible directive:
apt: pkg=bla state=present install_recommends=yeswill not install the packages recommended for bla.
The effective way to set recommends is to pass
-o APT::Install-Recommends=(yes|no)to the apt-get run.That will make install_recommends more reliable.
