and without hosts and vars

Without this patch, the simplified syntax is triggered when a group
is defined like this:

    "platforms": {
        "children": [
            "cloudstack"
        ]
    }

Which results in a group 'platforms' with 1 host 'platforms'.

Currently, ansible -vvvv show the following:

    hostname EXEC ['ssh', '-C', '-vvv', '-o', 'ControlMaster=auto',

This is not good if someone want to cut and paste it to see if something
is wrong with the command line, so join the dictionnary strings with spaces
to have 1 string in the output.

Issue 8872: use getpass.getpass() to read password.

Fixes #8758

This avoids passing the plaintext raw password into the script as a
command-line argument, which shells such as bash and zsh will
typically log into a file like ~/bash_history.

As a small bonus, this works a LOT more smoothly if the user's
password has characters in it that either the shell or Python syntax
might like to interpret as metacharacters, like '\' or '"'.

getpass.getpass() is part of Python's standard library in all versions
between 2.4 and 3.3 at least.

Commit 311ec543 ("If not specified, do not modify subnet/route_tables for ec2 VPCs") mostly fixed the problem, except that it left defaults for subnets and route_tables so that not specifying them still deleted them.
