Ansible 2.3.0 RC3 is ready for testing

[James Cammarata]

We are happy to announce the availability of Ansible 2.3.0 RC3!

This RC continues to address a few small bugs we wanted to fix before the final release:

* Fixed a bug in dealing with leading garbage text when looking for a become prompt.

* Some additional minor correctiosn to network connection plugins.

* Fixed a couple of issues regarding using the synchronize module with docker connections.

* Several other minor fixes and enhancements.

There will definitely be an RC4 next week, with the final release hopefully following that.
