Use unique loop vars to avoid conflicts

We have to be careful about avoiding outer loop loop_var conflicts in
ansible. Because the zuul-jobs roles are meant to be reconsumed
elsewhere we should not use 'item' loopvars and instead set them to
something a bit more unique.

We use a zj_ prefix to try and be unique to this repo and document this
convention.

+Ansible Loops in Roles
+**********************
+
+Because the Ansible roles contained in this repo are expected to be
+pretty universally applicable in Zuul systems we must write them
+defensively to work around some Ansible behaviors. In particular
+nesting Ansible loops using the default `loop_var` of `item` is not
+safe.
+
+Roles in this repo should override the default `loop_var` in loops
+and use a variable name prefixed with `zj_` to make them more unique.
+The idea is this will avoid conflicts with the calling level which
+may use `include_role` in a loop creating a `loop_var` conflict.
+
+For example::
+
+  command: echo {{ zj_number }}
+  loop:
+    - one
+    - two
+    - three
+  loop_control:
+    loop_var: zj_number
