* surrogate_then_strict doesn't exist. Switch to surrogate_or_strict
instead.
* Found some bugs in the _text.py implementation
* The composed error handlers (error handlers which are made up of two
or more python encoding error handlers) had a wrong string in it,
'surrogate_or_escape' doesn't exist. Replaced that with
'surrogate_or_replace' which is the correct handler name.
* Left comment about the implicit conditions that are part of the
surrogate_then_replace code path
Fixes#23865Fixes#23861
* Add a surrogate_then_replace error strategy to keep to_bytes from tracebacking by default
* Port all code that explicitly used surrogate_or_replace to surrogate_then_replace
We couldn't copy to_unicode, to_bytes, to_str into module_utils because
of licensing. So once created it we had two sets of functions that did
the same things but had different implementations. To remedy that, this
change removes the ansible.utils.unicode versions of those functions.
* Port set_*_if_different functions to python3
* Add surrogate_or_strict and surrogate_or_replace error handlers for
to_text, to_bytes, to_native
* Set default error handler to surrogate_or_replace
* Make use of the new error handlers in the already ported code
* Move the unittests for module_utils._text as they aren't in basic.py
* Cleanup around SEQUENCETYPE. On python2.6+ SEQUENCETYPE includes
strings so make sure code omits those explicitly if necessary
* Allow arg_spec aliases to be other sequence types
* Give native strings to selinux library functions.
SELinux takes pathnames as native strings. That means we need to
convert to bytes on python2 and convert to text on python3.
Fixes#17155
* Read kitchen documentation, make module_utils params more like kitchen API
* Remove none nonstring strategy and add strict
* Raise TypeError on invalid nonstring strategy
* Document to_native()
* Make unittests for testing module_utils.text
