We've run into an issue often when standing up new hosts running snmp_exporters that our dry-run process against that new node fails due to the handlers attempting to run and failing since snmp_exporter hasn't yet installed it's systemd service.
This change allows us to skip running those handlers when the
ansible_skip_tagsmagic variable contains the new tagsnmp_exporter_restartthis would be passed on the command line via--skip-tagsper usual and allow us to skip solely that tag during our dry-run stages.
