* Added nopackages option and Fix#24997
Adding a new option - nopackages.
This enables the option to add the --nopackages flag while registering a new node to RHN Satellite. We are not uploading the rpm data on our nodes and since we started utilizing ansible for nodes registration, I figures it would be useful for others as well.

Fixes#24997 (verified in my lab)
* Fixed documentation
* Documentation changes:
- typo fix in "default"
- Added "version_added" and set to 2.4
* Documentation changes:
- Removed trailing whitespaces in nopackages['version_added']
* This change is unrelated for this feature pull request and shouldn't be here (and also seems wrong, see #25079).
* Changed "version_added" to 2.5 in the module docs
This PR includes:
- PEP8 compliancy
- A fix to ensure the module fails when it failed for a package
- Various cosmetic changes to documentation
- Make `state: present` the default (and not required)
In answer to #2540, `aptitude` was introduced as tool of choice for running
upgrades in the apt module and installing new packages that arise as
dependencies during upgrades.
This recently lead to problems, as for example Ubuntu Xenial (16.04) ships
without aptitude (installed).
Studying the man pages of both apt-get and aptitude, it appears that we can
achieve the effects of `aptitude safe-upgrade` using
```
apt-get upgrade --with-new-pkgs --autoremove
```
while `aptitude full-upgrade` seems to be identical to `apt-get dist-upgrade`.
We use `apt-get` as described above as a fall-back in case that `aptitude`
cannot be found, issuing a warning when it does so.
Furthermore it introduces a flag `force_apt_get` which may be used to enforce
usage of apt-get (which does not issue a warning).
The integration tests are updated accordingly.
Cf. also the discussion in #27370.

It's not clear from the docs whether you need to set `update_cache`
when using `cache_valid_time`.
Setting `cache_valid_time` should imply `update_cache`. Update docs
to reflect this.

DNF's base.group_install() function accepts a string as its first
argument. Prior to DNF-2, compatibility code existed which allowed this
function to accept a base.comps.Group object instead. That is no longer
possible.
Pass "group.id" to base.group_install() instead of "group" to work
around this.
* Implement state='dist-upgrade'
Implements `zypper dist-upgrade` for the zypper module. This follows
how `zypper upgrade` is invoked, except `state='dist-upgrade'`.
Setting name to anything other than '*' would cause the module to error
out. `dist-upgrade` affects all packages and would not make sense to
apply to a specific package.
* Implement option extra_args
Add option to append additional arguments to zypper command. This
should be able to accommodate other options that are not (yet) covered
by zypper module.
Arguments are given as if written in the command line, complete with
dashes.
