https://github.com/ansible/proposals/issues/54
* Update documentation to the new metadata format

* Add GPL license header
* Add upgrade subcommand to upgrade metadata version
* Change default metadata to the new format
* Fix exclusion of non-modules from the metadata report
* Fix ansible-doc for new module metadata
* Exclude metadata version from ansible-doc output
* Fix website docs generation for the new metadata
* Update metadata schema in valiate-modules test
* Update the metadata in all modules to the new version
There as an invalid key in the command dict that would cause failure
using prompts. This changes the key from response to answer which is
what is expected by network_cli
When loading the params in the local action, the provider key was
inadvertently being loaded as well. This created the circular
reference. The load_provider() method will now check for the provider
key and skip it when encountered.
fixes#21399
* updates all ios modules to support persistent socket
* adds ios action plugin to connect to device
* adds exec_command() to ios shared module
* fixes ios_config and ios_template local action
* update all unit test cases
* adds base test module for ios module testing
* updates the ios_config module to use the network_cli plugin
* updates the local action plugin to derive from network
* add unit test cases for ios_config
stdout lines are now available when certain exceptions occur
(Ref ansible/ansible#18241)
Also noticed that to_lines was essentially handled in
lib/ansible/plugins/action/__init__.py -- only difference was
it didn't handle a list. to_lines() could be removed across
network modules now, but this commit is only for ios_command.
Also adds disconnect() to ios_command that was added
to ios_config in #5247
this fix will now handle loading a multiline banner on ios based
devices without hanging. It separates the processing of banners
from the remainder of the config
link #5318
* 'before' and 'after' are now only applied to 'lines'
* remove update argument
* update doc strings
* add path argument when performing config difference
When the configuration is compared and the results deserialized, the
dumps() function returns a string. This cohereces the return to a list
in case before and/or after needs to be applied
fixes 4707
* merge changes from ios shared module functions into ios_config.
* add src argument to provide path to config file
* add new choice to match used to ignore current running config
* add update argument with choices merge or check
* add backup argument to backup current running config to control host
* add defaults argument to control collection of config with or withoutdefaults
* add save argument to save current running config to startup config
* add state argument to control state of config file
* deprecated force argument, use match=none instead
This refactors the ios_config module to use the network module added
in 2.2 to simplify common network functions
new features
* add src, dest arguments for working with config
* results now return flag if the config was saved or not
* adds append argument for updating the dest file (when dest is used)
This commit address a bug in the ios_config module when using the
match: strict argument. When the argument is used, the module will
compare the configuration block same as match: exact which is not the
intended behavior. This commit updates the behavior to propertly handle
the strict argument.
