    @tbouron changes made; ready for review + (hopefully!) merge.
    
    @tbouron For why we have ansible, chef and salt in different modules (versus databases in one module), we don't have a hard-and-fast rule. However, with hindsight having entities like databases in the same brooklyn module was a mistake. Their release cadence and versioning are tied to that of brooklyn-core. They should have been in a community-contributed place like "brooklyncentral" in my opinion. And should have been in separate modules there.
    
    For ansible, chef etc - though they are solving a similar problem, they are very different integrations so I think it's good to separate them into different modules.
    
    The most compelling immediate answer though is that ansible and salt area already in different modules, so we're not going to combine them! And we should follow the same pattern for chef.
