[3.9] fact_caching_timeout default value is 86400 or 600 ?

See original GitHub issue

Description

This issue is for checking the specification of openshift-ansible cache timeout default value.

After checking here, I’ll request to modify the documentation related with this issue, if the documentation is not correct.

The description of documentation: Running the RPM-based Installer

The installer caches playbook configuration values for 10 minutes, by default.

As of v3.10 is configured fact_caching_timeout = 600 in /usr/share/ansible/openshift-ansible/ansible.cfg, but not v3.9. As far as I know, in v3.9 ansible refer the /etc/ansible/ansible.cfg as default, the cache timeout is not specified in ansible.cfg, so it used as 86400 default timeout value.
