Optionally search for world-writable files
The search for world-writable files is very intensive and causes
some long delays when running playbooks. This patch makes it
optional and updates the documentation to match.

Searching for world-writable files is now disabled by default. The search
causes delays in playbook runs and it can consume a significant amount of
CPU and I/O resources. Deployers can re-enable the search by setting
``security_find_world_writable_dirs`` to ``yes``.
