Changes the Kayobe playbook group variables in ``ansible/group_vars/`` to
be inventory group variables in ``ansible/inventory/group_vars``. This has
two important consequences:
1. Inventory group variables have a lower precedence than playbook group
variables. This means that these variables can now be overridden by
group variables in the Kayobe configuration inventory.
2. The new inventory group variables are automatically used by all Kayobe
commands, and do not need to be in the same directory as the playbook
being executed. This means that the `previous workaround
<https://docs.openstack.org/kayobe/yoga/custom-ansible-playbooks.html#packaging-custom-playbooks-with-configuration>`_
for custom playbooks involving symlinking to the ``group_vars``
directory from the directory containing the custom playbook is no longer
necessary.
