We hit Ansible rc -13 again in gate testing for a system-config change. This is the error code that Ansible returns for a task when it tries to connect via ssh as the ControlMaster is shutting down due to the ControlPerist timeout being reached. We already set ControlPersist to 180 seconds in an effort to make this an uncommon issue. Set ServerAliveInterval to 60 seconds to match zuul's configuration for Ansible as that seems to work well for Zuul jobs. Change-Id: I66f28fcf7f539b76bfbb6da99c9836a6a92431e5
