* Note: Python2 is not as intelligent at detecting false import loops as
Python3. context_objects.py cannot be added to cli/arguments because it
would set up an import loop between cli/__init__.py,
cli/arguments/context_objects.py, and context.py on Python2.

* Mark methods which are really functions as staticmethod
* Fix calls to other staticmethods to use the subclass rather than the
base class so that any inheritance overriding will be honored.
* Remove unnecessary logic and dead code
* Fix a typo in a docstring of how to implement subclass init_parser()
methods
* Call superclass's post_process_args in ansible-doc
* Fix copyright comment according to suggested practice
The goal of breaking apart the base_parser() function is to get rid of
a bunch of conditionals and parameters in the code and, instead, make
code look like simple composition.
When splitting, a choice had to be made as to whether this would operate
by side effect (modifying a passed in parser) or side effect-free
(returning a new parser everytime).
Making a version that's side-effect-free appears to be fighting with the
optparse API (it wants to work by creating a parser object, configuring
the object, and then parsing the arguments with it) so instead, make it
clear that our helper functions are modifying the passed in parser by
(1) not returning the parser and (2) changing the function names to be
more clear that it is operating by side-effect.
Also move all of the generic optparse code, along with the argument
context classes, into a new subdirectory.
* Once cli args are parsed, they're constant. So, save the parsed args
into the global context for everyone else to use them from now on.
* Port cli scripts to use the CLIARGS in the context
* Refactor call to parse cli args into the run() method
* Fix unittests for changes to the internals of CLI arg parsing
* Port callback plugins to use context.CLIARGS
* Got rid of the private self._options attribute
* Use context.CLIARGS in the individual callback plugins instead.
* Also output positional arguments in default and unixy plugins
* Code has been simplified since we're now dealing with a dict rather
than Optparse.Value
* First pass at a toml inventory
* Make EXAMPLES yaml
* Remove unnecessary comment
* Small formatting changes
* Add ansible-inventory option to list as TOML
* TOML inventory improvements, to allow a more simple inventory, specifically related to children
* changelog
* Simplify logic
* Dedupe _expand_hostpattern, making it available to all inventory plugins
* Don't make the TOML inventory dependent on the YAML inventory
* Quote IP address values
* Add more TOML examples
* Further cleanups
* Enable the toml inventory to run by default
* Create toml specific dumper
* 2.8
* Clean up imports
* No toml pygments lexer
* Don't raise an exception early when toml isn't present, and move toml to the end, since it requires an external dep
* Require toml>=0.10.0
* Further clean up of empty data
* Don't require toml>=0.10.0, but prefer it, add code for fallback in older versions
* Ensure we actually pass an encoder to toml.dumps
* Simplify recursive data converter
* Appease tests, since we haven't limited controller testing to 2.7+
* Update docstring for convert_yaml_objects_to_native
* remove outdated catching of AttributeError
* We don't need to catch ImportError when import ansible.plugins.inventory.toml
* Add note about what self.dump_funcs.update is doing
* Address some things
* A little extra comment
* Fix toml availability check
* Don't create an intermediate list
* Require toml file extension
* Add metadata
* Remove TOML docs from intro_inventory to prevent people from getting the wrong idea
* It's in defaults, remove note
* core supported, indicate very clearly that this is preview status
* handle groups correctly when they are 'null'
- even if defined as mapping but having no keys, objects shoudl still be processed correctly
- also add ansilbe_verbosity to vars not to display in ansible-inventory
fixes#41692
* allow to load json marked as unsafe or vault
* centralized json code/decode, add vault support
* use generics to allow for more varied inputs
* allow inventory to dump vault w/o decrypting
* override simplejson also
* add entry for unsafe also
* load vaulted and unsafe json, support unvaulting if secrets provided
* 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
* jsonify inventory
* smarter import, dont pass kwargs where not needed
* added datetime
* Eventual plan for json utilities to migrate to common/json_utils when we split
basic.py no need to move jsonify to another file now as we'll do that later.
* json_dict_bytes_to_unicode and json_dict_unicode_to_bytes will also
change names and move to common/text.py at that time (not to json).
Their purpose is to recursively change the elements of a container
(dict, list, set, tuple) into text or bytes, not to json encode or
decode (they could be a generic precursor to that but are not limited
to that.)
* Reimplement the private _SetEncoder which changes sets and datetimes
into objects that are json serializable into a private function
instead. Functions are more flexible, less overhead, and simpler than
an object.
* Remove code that handled simplejson-1.5.x and earlier. Raise an error
if that's the case instead.
* We require python-2.6 or better which has the json module builtin to
the stdlib. So this is only an issue if the stdlib json has been
overridden by a third party module and the simplejson on the system
is 1.5.x or less. (1.5 was released on 2007-01-18)
* ansible-inventory cli tool

allow import from new and old APIs
better conditional for <2.4
pe4+p4
test stuck on OS X (seems popular today) but passes rest, merging anyways
