* Clarify docs re mode's octal representation
I changed the language about how to use mode to make it more obvious
that using "01777" is not a typo, because the leading zero is not meant
to reflect the way that number might have been given on a command line.

Fixes several bugs exposed in #34893
* Fixes relative path handling in copy so that it splits directories and
reconstructs the correct file path
* Return failed in the proper circumstances
* 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
copy currently fails if you specify a destination without any directory
component. This is because we take the dirname of the destination for
some processing and no dirname causes issues.
This corrects that by prepending "./" if there is no directory component
in dest.
* Add transfer checksum verification in copy module, to ensure that the file was transferred to the remote successfully. Fixes#35029
* Guard on no checksum
* Add version_added
* allow shells to have per host options, remote_tmp
added language to shell
removed module lang setting from general as plugins have it now
use get to avoid bad powershell plugin
more resilient tmp discovery, fall back to `pwd`
add shell to docs
fixed options for when frags are only options
added shell set ops in t_e and fixed option frags
normalize tmp dir usag4e
- pass tmpdir/tmp/temp options as env var to commands, making it default for tempfile
- adjusted ansiballz tmpdir
- default local tempfile usage to the configured local tmp
- set env temp in action
add options to powershell
shift temporary to internal envvar/params
ensure tempdir is set if we pass var
ensure basic and url use expected tempdir
ensure localhost uses local tmp
give /var/tmp priority, less perms issues
more consistent tempfile mgmt for ansiballz
made async_dir configurable
better action handling, allow for finally rm tmp
fixed tmp issue and no more tempdir in ballz
hostvarize world readable and admin users
always set shell tempdir
added comment to discourage use of exception/flow control
* Mostly revert expand_user as it's not quite working.
This was an additional feature anyhow.
Kept the use of pwd as a fallback but moved it to a second ssh
connection. This is not optimal but getting that to work in a single
ssh connection was part of the problem holding this up.
(cherry picked from commit 395b714120522f15e4c90a346f5e8e8d79213aca)
* fixed script and other action plugins
ensure tmpdir deletion
allow for connections that don't support new options (legacy, 3rd party)
fixed tests
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.
unsafe_writes currently allows updating a file that can be updated but
not removed (for instance, when docker mounted). This change also
allows unsafe_writes to write to writable files in unwritable dirs. For
instance, if a system has made a single file inside of /etc/ writable to
a specific normal user.
Fixes#14961
* We need a directory walker that can handle symlinks, empty directories,
and some other odd needs. This commit contains a directory walker that
can do all that. The walker returns information about the files in the
directories that we can then use to implement different strategies for
copying the files to the remote machines.
* Add local_follow parameter to copy that follows local symlinks (follow
is for remote symlinks)
* Refactor the copying of files out of run into its own method
* Add new integration tests for copy
Fixes#24949Fixes#21513
* Mutually reference Windows and non-Windows modules
To make it easier for Windows or non-Windows users to find the relevant
module information, we are mutually referencing both variants in their
documentation.
We are also adding a special note if a module works on both Windows and
non-Windows targets.

* Replace 'look at' with 'use', as requested
ci_complete
Now that remote-to-remote copies are supported in the copy module,
the module documentation has been updated to indicate this in the
synopsis and examples to make the capability obvious for someone
skimming the documentation.
Reads the directory_mode param as 'raw' type to mirror the same behavior as mode.
This'll cause non-quoted values to be represented as an int, rather than a str.
Covered by 'assert recursive copied directories mode' test.
Fixes#24202
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
* Avoid having module documentation links to itself
A lot of modules use M(own_module) in their documentation causing a link
in the documentation to itself.
* Make note more clear now
This fixes the behavior that the dest is directory,
when we set the "force: no" argument.
To be join the dest and the src's basename,
before checking the "force" argument.
* Python3 fixes to copy, file, and stat so that the connection integration tests can be run
* Forgot to audit the helper functions as well.
* Fix dest to refledt b_dest (found by @mattclay)
