sysutils/ansible: cron module username handling

Ansible `cron' module does not work correctly: when both reading and writing
crontab, it fails to understand local-to-remote user mappings and this leads to
rewriting root's crontab instead of a specified user's.

While a similar and related bug was discussed and patched in bug #209789; this
patch continues the full fix.

Both this patch and the previously mentioned bug are mentioned upstream as:

https://github.com/ansible/ansible-modules-core/pull/3750
https://github.com/ansible/ansible-modules-core/issue/3344

It would be ideal to have this patch in ports until upstream resolves this.

My patch is against 2016Q4 (if needed for head, please yell at me! ;) Do please
consider a merge to-from head to quarterly.
