* `nxos_facts` crashes with certain nxos images; e.g. `7.0(3)I7(3)` as a result of this call:
```
data = self.run('show lldp neighbors', output='json')
```
...which returns `ERROR: No neighbour information` when the device has no neighbors.
* This response causes httpapi's `handle_reponse()` to raise a ConnectionError, which is caught by `utils/jsonrpc.py` which is expecting `code` in the exception data:
```
except ConnectionError as exc:
display.vvv(traceback.format_exc())
error = self.error(code=exc.code, message=to_text(exc))
```
* Found by: `nxos_facts/tests/common/not_hardware.yaml:7`
* Connections can queue messages to be returned from ansible-connection
* Provide fallback for invalid display level
* Strip display from plugins
* Route messages through helper method to try to avoid improper appends
* Bare minimum rip out cliconf
* nxapi changeover
* Update documentation, move options
* Memoize device_info
* Gratuitous rename to underscore use of local api implementation
Fixup eos module_utils like nxos
* Streamline version and image scans
* Expose get_capabilities through module_utils
* Add load_config to module_utils
* Support rpcs using both args and kwargs
* Add get_config for nxos
* Add get_diff
* module context, pulled from nxapi
We could probably do this correctly later
* Fix eos issues
* Limit connection._sub_plugin to only one plugin
* Hold httpapi response in BytesIO
* Let httpapi plugin deal with HTTP codes if it wants
* Python 3.5 won't json.loads() bytes
* Don't modify headers passed to send
* Move code handling back to send()
but let httpapi plugin have a say on how it happens
* nxos cliconf plugin refactor
Fixes#39056
* Refactor nxos cliconf plugin as per new api definition
* Minor changes in ios, eos, vyos cliconf plugin
* Change nxos httpapi plugin edit_config method to be in sync with
nxos cliconf edit_config
* Fix CI failure
* Fix unit test failure and review comment
* HTTPAPI connection
* Punt run_commands to cliconf or httpapi
* Fake enable_mode on eapi
* Pull changes to nxos
* Move load_config to edit_config for future-preparedness
* Don't fail on lldp disabled
* Re-enable check_rc on nxos' run_commands
* Reorganize nxos httpapi plugin for compatibility
* draft docs for connection: httpapi
* restores docs for connection:local for eapi
* Add _remote_is_local to httpapi
