* Remove raw byte-strings from cliconf plugins of supported platforms + edgeos
Remove uses of to_bytes, too
* Update CliConfBase docstring to reflect current position on byte strings
* Handle multiple sub prompts for network_cli connection
Fixes#35349
* Check if the same prompt is repeated in consecutive window
if it is repeated it indicates there is problem with answer
provided
* In that case report error to user
* Fix CI failure
* Fixes#35349
* Add prompt_retry count to control max number of times
to expect the same prompt before it error's out
* Make required changes in ios and eos terminal plugin to handle
wrong enable password correctly and return proper error
message to user.
* Check if the same prompt is repeated in consecutive window
if it is repeated it indicates there is the problem with an answer
provided
* In that case report error to user
Change cb1b705218 introduced the newline
parameter on network_cli plugin, but that was never introduced on cliconf.
This causes ios_user to break, since the newline value is never plumbed thru
to network_cli
* Fix persistent command timeout handling
We were using play context timeout on ansible-connect to set
the persistent command timeout handler. Thus, we were ignoring
the persistent_command_timeout setting.
Moreover, even by changing that on ansible-connection, were again
overriding it on cliconf send_command, since in a same process we can
just set a single alarm and cliconf send_command alarm setup is executed
after ansible-connection alarm setup.
* Remove alarm setting on cliconf send_command
The alarm is set regardless before it is executed by ansible-connection.
Setting an alarm again, overrides/disables the previous ones as a single
process can just have a single alarm set.
* Move the setting of persistent command timeout to network_cli
We do also use ansible-connection for connection local, so if a
user provides a timeout via provider that would be ignored if we
set the value on ansible-connection.
Moving that logic to network_cli plugin constructor makes both
connections to work.
* Remove debug statements
* Set the persistent command timeout on task_executor
We can't set the timeout on ansible-connection nor network_cli,
otherwise tasks using provider timeout won't work.
