Next feature release

[Support]: Add parameter lists to the members of the files module.
[Support]: Publicly document the util module and its set_runner decorator, which decorates the functions in the files module (and any future applicable modules) allowing users to specify extra arguments like sudo=True or runner_method="local".

As part of publicizing this, we added some docstring mutation to the decorator so returned objects expose Sphinx autodoc hints and parameter lists. This should replace the function(*args, **kwargs) signatures that used to end up in the rendered documentation.

[Bug] #17: Missed some .succeeded attributes when porting to Fabric 2 - they should have been .ok. Patch via Lucio Delelis.
[Bug]: Fix a bug in patchwork.transfers.rsync where it would fail with AttributeError unless your connection had connect_kwargs.key_filename defined.
[Bug] #20: (via #21) patchwork.transfers.rsync didn’t handle its exclude parameter correctly when building the final rsync command (it came out looking like a stringified tuple). Fixed by Kegan Gan.
[Bug] #23: Fix some outstanding Python 2-isms (use of iteritems) in info.distro_name and info.distro_family, as well as modules which imported those – such as packages.

Includes adding some basic tests for this functionality as well. Thanks to @ChaoticMind for the report.
