* 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.

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
The following playbook:
```yaml
- hosts: localhost
tasks:
- file:
path: /tmp/non-existing-foo-bar
state: absent
recurse: yes
```
causes this error:
```
fatal: [localhost]: FAILED! => {"changed": false, "failed": true, "msg": "recurse option requires state to be 'directory'", "path": "/tmp/non-existing-foo-bar", "state": "absent"}
```
The included fix ensures that when recurse is added, we no longer assume
it is a file, but accept that it is a directory.
when using "state: link", and particularly when using
"force: yes".
Symbolic link resolution can be expensive. In our case,
the symbolic links are legacy links to automounts, and
the "file" task was causing all of the legacy links to
be traversed and mounted on every host every time the
task executed, even when the links were correct and there
was nothing to do.
This change avoids the system calls that perform the
symbolic link resolution by taking advantage of the short
circuit behaviur of the boolean "and" operator. The code
behaviour is unchanged except that it no longer performs
unnecessary system calls.
As it turns out, this change is not sufficient to fully
solve the symbolic link resolution problem, as the "file"
module still performs a stat() at the end of execution to
provide the caller with information about the file.
However, this change is very simple, it will eliminate
unnecessary system calls in a number of use cases, and it
gets the "file" module closer to the desired end result.

The parameters 'diff_peek' and 'validate' are not expected to be used
by users. They are internal. To make it clear, this change adds the
comments 'Internal use only' to each of those definitions to make
it clear that they are actually used, just not by end-users.
The 'diff_peek' option isn't documented at all, and provides a
rudimentary check that the content isn't binary. Documentation is
added to explain the option.
The 'validate' option has a declaration, but isn't implemented.
Therefore it may as well be removed from the module.
If we try to make a directory, but someone else creates the directory
at the same time as us, we don't need to raise that error to the user.
They asked for the directory to exist, and now it does. This fixes
the race condition which was causing that error to be raised, and
closes#1648.
