* Optimize template
* In fixing template to handle diff correctly #24477, I introduced more
round trips to the remote end which slowed things down The new code now
uses one fewer round trips than the old code.
* Reimplement a large part of template by calling the copy action plugin
instead of doing it in template's code. This reduces the code in
template and gives us one place to fix bugs and optimize.
* Add a follow parameter to template that mirrors the follow parameters
for file and copy.
* Fix copy's diff handling (probably broken in my rewrite for in 2.4
development)
* Adjusted when copy creates tmp dirs to rduce round trips in copy and
template.
Fixes#27956
Added fix for missing imports and boilerplate in files modules,
also, removed get_exception calls to match 2.6> exception handling.

* Add example of templating inline using copy module
The **copy** module documentation implies that `content:` only works
for 'simple values' and for complex stuff you need the **template**
module, but that is an understatement. You can use **copy** to template
anything you desire.
So I changed the wording, added an example, and also added a note
to the template module that the **copy** module could be used for
'inline templating'.
This fixes#19741.
This change to the template action plugin make template use the
platform's native newline_sequence for Jinja.
We also added the option `newline_sequence` to change the newline
sequence using by Jinja if you need to use another newline sequence than
the platform default.
This was previously discussed in

And also relates to issue #21128

Sudoers is a great example to show how you can prevent shutting yourself
out. But SSHd is at least as important to avoid syntax errors causing a
lot of grieve. So I think it deserves a spot in this list :-)
