Feedback has been it's difficult (via Google or directly) to find

therefore specify both.

It's possible that if the module has a low-level failure, such as
"unable to open shell", or something else in the action plugin that
stdout and stdout_lines will not be returned.
Update the documentation to clarify this point.
