* Removed modules no longer have documentation
Decided this was causing people to think that modules were supported
even after being removed. This change is a new strategy to have the
error message trying to use a removed module point people to the older
documentation.
* Add stubs for modules removed in 2.7
These are freshly removed so we want people who are still using them
when they upgrade Ansible to have a hint as to where to find information
on how to port.
* Finish properly undeprecating include
include was undeprecated earlier but not all of the pieces that marked
it as deprecated were reverted. This change fixes the remaining
pieces
Enforce module deprecation.
After module has reached the end of it's deprecation cycle we will replace it with a docs stub.
* Replace deprecated modules with docs-only sub
* Use of deprecated past deprecation cycle gives meaningful message (see examples below)
* Enforce documentation.deprecation dict via `schema.py`
* Update `ansible-doc` and web docs to display documentation.deprecation
* Document that structure in `dev_guide`
* Ensure that all modules starting with `_` have a `deprecation:` block
* Ensure `deprecation:` block is only used on modules that start with `_`
* `removed_in` A string which represents when this module needs **deleting**
* CHANGELOG.md and porting_guide_2.5.rst list removed modules as well as alternatives
* CHANGELOG.md links to porting guide index
To ensure that meaningful messages are given to the user if they try to use a module at the end of it's deprecation cycle we enforce the module to contain:
```python
if __name__ == '__main__':
removed_module()
```
* The canonical location of BOOLEANS has moved. Switch imports to use that.
* clean up argument_spec use of booleans.
* Clean up imports to not use wildcards
* Remove usage of get_exception
