Description

If you decide to use Ansible variables ({{ variable }}) on JobTemplates, with http://projects.theforeman.org/issues/22510 it should substitute the variable in the playbook by the HostParameter in Foreman.
However, it doesn't. We send Host Parameters to playbooks in a hash 'foreman_params', so in the playbook they would need to change their variables to 'foreman_params['variable']'.
This is a blocker for people who may want to import their playbooks into Foreman, as I doubt people would like to change all of their variables by 'foreman_params'.
If we serve 'foreman_params['variable']' as just 'variable', that would work and users would be able to use playbooks directly without any change.

This should be configurable in case some people prefer the old behavior of prefixing 'foreman_params'.
