Include category playbooks directly. #207

Example app.yml only consists of a single include. Why not include app/all.yml directly?

I keep DebOps playbooks in a central location under ~/.local/share/debops/ and work in the project directories, so I don't have access to Tab-completion of DebOps playbook (there's a thought...). Anyway, current setup allows you to run, say:

debops app -l host

Which is very similar to how old-style playbooks could be used. I wanted to keep the old command working during the transition, I'm also still not sure about the specific role categories (app, srv, hw, etc.). But sure, we could check out a few solutions, including app/all.yml in site.yml directly would allow for clean up of main playbook directory somewhat.

I think that putting more focus on playbooks is important, especially with the transition from role dependencies. I'm looking for ideas about how to manage that, any tips from playbook use in your own environments are welcome.
