schroot connector for ansible

I accidentally made an ansible connector plugin for schroot. I haven't even used ansible yet, so I have no idea what I am doing.

You can choose the chroot type by setting something like schroot_type: jessie in your variables.

You can install this locally as connection_plugins/schroot.py.
