I PR'd a change to pywinrm to allow server certs to be ignored; but it's only on the SSL transport (which we were previously ignoring). For this to work more generally, we're also now pulling the named ansible_winrm_* args from the merged set of host/group vars, not just host_vars.
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.)
* Add exception handling when running PowerShell modules to provide exception message and stack trace.
* Enable strict mode for all PowerShell modules and internal commands.
* Update common PowerShell code to fix strict mode errors.
* Fix an issue with Set-Attr where it would not replace an existing property if already set.
* Add tests for exception handling using modified win_ping modules.
