* WIP: wait_for_connection: Wait for system to be reachable
This action plugin allows to check when a system is back online and
usable by Ansible.
As an example, when doing a SysPrep and running Enable-WinRM.ps1, it
takes between 10 to 20 seconds between the WinRM TCP port to open, and
it actually being able to server Ansible requests. This time is variable
and depends on the boot process.
Current implementation is specific for Windows (WinRM) only, this will
be fixed shortly.
This fixes#19998
* Support other transport types
* Various improvements
- Fix reported typo
- Add transport_test support in accelerate plugin
- Ensure port is an integer
* Improve examples
* Small fixes
- Use correct ConfigureRemotingForAnsible.ps1 script name
- Only use win_ping when remote shell is known to be Powershell
- Add integration tests to CI framework
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.
There doesn't appear to be anything that actually uses tmp_path in the
connection plugins so we don't need to pass that in to exec_command.
That change also means that we don't need to pass tmp_path around in
many places in the action plugins any more. there may be more cleanup
that can be done there as well (the action plugin's public run() method
takes tmp as a keyword arg but that may not be necessary).
As a sideeffect of this patch, some potential problems with chmod and
the patch, assemble, copy, and template modules has been fixed (those
modules called _remote_chmod() with the wrong order for their
parameters. Removing the tmp parameter fixed them.)
