make with_items compatible with Ansible 2.2+

[codereviewvideos]

Updates main.yml inline with Ansible 2.2 syntax:

ansible/ansible-modules-core#5509

TASK [ANXS.generic-directories : generic-directories | Make sure all directories are present] ***
task path: /my/path/to/roles/ANXS.generic-directories/tasks/main.yml:3
fatal: [rancher-test4.localdomain]: FAILED! => {
    "failed": true, 
    "msg": "the field 'args' has an invalid value, which appears to include a variable that is undefined. The error was: 'ansible.vars.unsafe_proxy.AnsibleUnsafeText object' has no attribute 'path'\n\nThe error appears to have been in '/my/path/to/roles/ANXS.generic-directories/tasks/main.yml': line 3, column 3, but may\nbe elsewhere in the file depending on the exact syntax problem.\n\nThe offending line appears to be:\n\n\n- name: \"generic-directories | Make sure all directories are present\"\n  ^ here\n"
}

thanks for this role by the way, just saved me a job :)

seems this is backwards incompatible with Ansible 1.5 :( np if you wish to reject, I will fork for my own use

Oh didn't know this was getting use! Let me update the tests for 2.2 and we can merge this ! Rebase from master and hopefully tests will be 🆗

It's been a while. Like 3 years, now. 2 PRs are open proposing the same exact patch ( #6 ) to work with up-to-date Ansible versions but no movement has been observed in this repo whatsoever.

Should this be considered deadware? It's a pity, I love simple concise roles soft-wrapping Ansible modules, they save a lot of writing. But I don't like being bound to old Ansible versions!

How can the community help you to move on?

Did anyone manage to publish their fork in Ansible Galaxy?

For what it is worth: @initlabopen published a fork with this fix https://galaxy.ansible.com/initlabopen/generic_directories

Always willing to have more contributors on this repo. If anyone wants in let me know. I've been holding off getting more PR's merged until I finished swapping from travis to circle but work keeps getting in the way....
