* Fixes for mode=preserve
* Document mode=preserve for template and copy
* Make mode=preserve work with remote_src for copy
* Make mode=preserve work for template
* Integration tests for copy & template mode=preserve
Fixes#39279
* Changed mode option in win_copy to hidden option as it doesn't reflect copy mode
* template: Add integration tests for `lstrip_blocks'

* template: Fix passing `trim_blocks' inline
Fix passing `trim_blocks' option to the template module as inline
argument. Previously passing the `trim_blocks' option inline instead of
using the YAML dictionary format resulted in it always being set to
`True', even if `trim_blocks=False' was used.

* template: Add option to `lstrip_blocks'
Add option to set `lstrip_blocks' when using the template module to
render Jinja templates. The Jinja documentation suggests that
`trim_blocks' and `lstrip_blocks' is a great combination and the
template module already provides an option for `trim_blocks'.
Note that although `trim_blocks' in Ansible is enabled by default since
version 2.4, in order to avoid breaking things keep `lstrip_blocks'
disabled by default. Maybe in a future version it could be enabled by
default.
This seems to address issue #10725 in a more appropriate way than the
suggested.

* template: Check Jinja2 support for `lstrip_blocks'
Since the `lstrip_blocks' option was added in Jinja2 version 2.7, raise
an exception when `lstrip_blocks' is set but Jinja2 does not support it.
Check support for `lstrip_blocks' option by checking `jinja2.defaults'
for `LSTRIP_BLOCKS' and do not use `jinja2.__version__' because the
latter is set to `unknown' in some cases, perhaps due to bug in
`pkg_resources' in Python 2.6.6.
Also update option description to state that Jinja2 version >=2.7 is
required.

* Optimize template
* In fixing template to handle diff correctly #24477, I introduced more
round trips to the remote end which slowed things down The new code now
uses one fewer round trips than the old code.
* Reimplement a large part of template by calling the copy action plugin
instead of doing it in template's code. This reduces the code in
template and gives us one place to fix bugs and optimize.
* Add a follow parameter to template that mirrors the follow parameters
for file and copy.
* Fix copy's diff handling (probably broken in my rewrite for in 2.4
development)
* Adjusted when copy creates tmp dirs to rduce round trips in copy and
template.
Fixes#27956
Added fix for missing imports and boilerplate in files modules,
also, removed get_exception calls to match 2.6> exception handling.

* Add example of templating inline using copy module
The **copy** module documentation implies that `content:` only works
for 'simple values' and for complex stuff you need the **template**
module, but that is an understatement. You can use **copy** to template
anything you desire.
So I changed the wording, added an example, and also added a note
to the template module that the **copy** module could be used for
'inline templating'.
This fixes#19741.
This change to the template action plugin make template use the
platform's native newline_sequence for Jinja.
We also added the option `newline_sequence` to change the newline
sequence using by Jinja if you need to use another newline sequence than
the platform default.
This was previously discussed in
https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/16255#issuecomment-278289414
And also relates to issue #21128

* 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

* Update the metadata in all modules to the new version
Sudoers is a great example to show how you can prevent shutting yourself
out. But SSHd is at least as important to avoid syntax errors causing a
lot of grieve. So I think it deserves a spot in this list :-)
