Ansible 2.2.3 RC1 is available for testing!

[James Cammarata]

We are happy to announce the availability of Ansible 2.2.3 RC1!

This RC addresses a couple of bugs (at least one of which was introduced in 2.2.2):

* Fix 'ungrouped' issue with some inventory formats (#23018)

* Split on newlines when searching for become prompt (also mentioned in 2.3.0 RC3 release)

* Fix crash upon pass prompt in py3 when using the paramiko connection type.
