Changes to the metadata format were approved here:
https://github.com/ansible/proposals/issues/54
* Update documentation to the new metadata format
* Changes to metadata-tool to account for new metadata
* Add GPL license header
* Add upgrade subcommand to upgrade metadata version
* Change default metadata to the new format
* Fix exclusion of non-modules from the metadata report
* Fix ansible-doc for new module metadata

* Fix website docs generation for the new metadata
* Update metadata schema in valiate-modules test
* Update the metadata in all modules to the new version
* Bug Fix for win_lineinfile and updated examples.
- changed $backrefs to a bool so it works with true/false/yes/no. This also fixes idempotency.
- Updated Docs with an example of using backrefs.
* Made suggested updates and converted two more parameters to "bool"
* Updated the Exception message
- Now contains the Windows Exception message as well as a custom message to help point in the right direction of a failed write.
* Updated Exception Handling
- Added Exception checks for Creating and removing the temporary files.
- Changed the ErrorAction on the copy tmpfile and remove tmp file to "Stop" to
cause the exception handler to catch all errors so we can fail gracefully
every time.
* Windows: Fix documentation strings to be raw strings
Especially when using Windows paths they easily get confused as escaped
sequences or unicode characters. So by default use raw strings
This fixes#20295
* Fixed as hinted by @abadger
And some trailing whitespace fixes.
Not all file-related modules consistently use "path" as the attribute to specify a single filename, some use "dest", others use "name". Most do have aliases for either "name" or "destfile".
This change makes "path" the default attribute for (single) file-related modules, but also adds "dest" and "name" as aliases, so that people can use a consistent way of attributing paths, but also to ensure backward compatibility with existing playbooks.
NOTE: The reason for changing this, is that it makes Ansible needlessly harder to use if you have to remember that e.g. the xattr module requires the name attribute, the lineinfile module requires a dest attribute, and the stat module requires a path attribute.
