* Refactor common network shared and platform specific code into package (part-1)
As per proposal #76 refactor common network shared and platform specific
code into sub-package.
https://github.com/ansible/proposals/issues/76
* ansible.module_utils.network.common - command shared functions
* ansible.module_utils.network.{{ platform }} - where platform is platform specific shared functions
* Fix review comments
* Fix review comments
* Make warning logs consistent
Arguments outside provider with default
value should not log as warning in case
it is not mentioned in play.
* Make nxos timeout default consistent and add comments
* Make comments more verbose
Apparently in some devices the filesystems gathering command can return
a dict containing a 'messages' key with the filesystems, instead of a
plain string.
Fixes#23217
Changes to the metadata format were approved here:
https://github.com/ansible/proposals/issues/54
* Update documentation to the new metadata format
* Changes to metadata-tool to account for new metadata
* 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
* updates eos modules to use persistent connection socket
* removes split eos shared module and combines into one
* adds singular eos doc frag (eos_local to be removed after module updates)
* updates unit test cases
* dict.iteritems does not exist in Python 3
Now just dict.items
six.iteritems handles the change
* Addresses point 1
Unsure if this is a good idea or not.
* Addresses point 2
This shouldn't have any particular change, just marks load_comments as abstract
* Remove unused import
Addresses point 3
* Clarify invalid subset error message
Addresses point 4
* adds support for std network facts
* adds support for default facts subset
* adds support for config facts subset
* adds support for interface facts subset
* adds support for hardware facts subset
