* gather_subset is a list of strings
When gather_subset is an integer, a message pointing out the problem, current tb error
is replaced by this one:
ERROR! the field 'gather_subset' should be a list of (<class 'str'>,), but the item '42' is a <class 'int'>

* gathering_facts test: ensure smart gathering is on
Extends `module_defaults` by adding a prefix to defaults `group/` which denotes a builtin list of modules. Initial groups are: `group/aws`, `group/azure`, and `group/gcp`

* Refactor netconf_config module as per proposal #104
* Update netconf_config module metadata to core network supported
* Refactor local connection to use persistent connection framework
for backward compatibility
* Update netconf connection plugin configuration varaibles (Fixes#40245)
* Add support for optional lock feature to Fixes#41541
* Add integration test for netconf_config module
* Documentation update
* Move deprecated options in netconf_config module
Only print warning when ansible.cfg is actually skipped
* Also add unittests for the find_ini_config_file function
* Add documentation on world writable current working directory
config files can no longer be loaded from a world writable current
working directory but the end user is allowed to specify that
explicitly. Give appropriate warnings and information on how.
Fixes#42388
If there were fatal bugs in this portion of config, they would never be displayed
because config would fail to load and then every^U (Exageration... only
half of every) other part of the code which depended on config to be
loaded would fail before we ever got around to a section of code that
would process UNABLE.
Remove the try except from here so that we are able to debug this code
On Python3, these would be text strings already. On Python2, we need to
convert them from bytes.
Use a new helper function py3compat to do this.

* Updates options in netconf connection to enable
bastion/jump host setting using configuration/enviornment
varaibles.
* Update troubleshooting docs from using bastion host with netconf
connection
* pip tests: remove trailing spaces
* pip tests: use Jinja tests
* fixup! pip tests: remove trailing spaces
* pip tests: use 'command' instead of 'shell' module
* pip tests: remove unused variable
* pip tests: use a package with fewer dependencies
sampleproject has one dependency: 'peppercorn' and peppercorn doesn't
have any dependency.
* pip tests: check that 'name' param handles list
* pip: squash package parameters
Note that squashing will be removed in 2.11, new code should directly
use a list with the 'name' parameter.
When we read files from disk we always want to read them as bytes and
then convert them to text ourselves. This gives us greater control over
what encodings are used, what to do in case of errors decoding the bytes
to text, and better resilience against problems on both Python 2 and
Python 3.
If we left it up to Python to do this, on Python2, this could mean
that config values end up as bytes (leading to tracebacks elsewhere in
the code). In Python3, it could traceback if the user's locale did not
match with the encoding of the ini file or config files could be decoded
as the user's locale encoding instead of as utf-8.
In the process of building up the inventory by parsing each inventory
source with each available inventory plugin, there are three kinds of
possible errors (listed in order from earliest to latest):
1. One source could not be parsed by a particular plugin.
2. One source could not be parsed by any available plugin.
3. ALL sources could not be parsed by any available plugin.
The errors in (1) are a part of normal operation, e.g., the script
plugin is expected to fail to parse an ini-format source, and we will
ignore that error and try the next plugin. There is currently no way to
control this, and no known compelling use-case for a setting to control
it. This commit does not make any changes here.
We implement "any_unparsed_is_failed" to handle (2) above. If enabled,
this requires that every available source be parsed validly by at least
one plugin. In an inventory comprising a static hosts file and ec2.py,
this setting will cause a fatal error if ec2.py fails (a situation that
attracted only a warning earlier).
We clarify that the existing "unparsed_is_failed=true" setting causes a
fatal error only in (3) above, i.e., if NO inventory source could be
parsed. In other words, if there is ANY valid source in the inventory
(e.g., an ini-format static file), no combination of errors and the
setting will cause a fatal error.
If you want to execute your playbooks when your inventory is…
(a) complete, use "any_unparsed_is_failed=true".
(b) not empty, use "unparsed_is_failed=true".
The "unparsed_is_failed" setting should be renamed to
"all_unparsed_is_failed", but this commit does not do so.

* configurable list of facts modules
- allow for args dict for specific modules
- add way to pass parameters
- avoid facts poluting test
- move to 'facts gathered' flag
- add 'gathering' setting tests
Add the 'localhost_warning' configuration option. When set to 'false',
this will prevent Ansible from issuing a warning when the inventory is
empty and it is using an implicit inventory with only 'localhost'.
Closes#17086
avoids some repetitive loading
- read config file only once
- now cache the ini parser per file
- optimize shell plugin loading
tried to 'optimize' vars_plugins loading but it creates issues with precedence,
probalby due to iterator not being reset, will look into it in subsequent fix/PR
* add export option
* added 'export mode' to ansible-inventory
this optimizes the output for exporting inventory vs representing the 'ansible view'
fixes#30877
* added group priority when needed
The code that depends on this is all in the action plugins so we should
leave it there until we either move that action plugin code over
(fixup_perms2) or we give action plugins the ability to register new
config.
