[Ansible-service-broker] Instantiating APB with CLI

Thu Mar 22 16:05:44 UTC 2018

It's something that's been brought up in the past Siamak.  We are planning
a large refactoring of the apb tool that should make it more compatible
with the oc client. After that, we should have an easier time bringing this
up with the client folks and potentially merging this in oc client. Thanks
for your perspective on this.
