custom ansible filter to allow `jq` filters

It would be nice if we could use jq filters (https://stedolan.github.io/jq/manual/) for the more complex lookups that can often be very hack-ish using ansible's built-in filters.
We could write a custom filter to pass the data through to pyjq: https://pypi.python.org/pypi/pyjq

@jrandall: Ansible 2.2 introduces a new json_query
filter, based on JMESPath. It's not jq
but it looks like it would be just as good for complex lookups!
