* Once cli args are parsed, they're constant. So, save the parsed args
into the global context for everyone else to use them from now on.
* Port cli scripts to use the CLIARGS in the context
* Refactor call to parse cli args into the run() method
* Fix unittests for changes to the internals of CLI arg parsing
* Port callback plugins to use context.CLIARGS
* Got rid of the private self._options attribute
* Use context.CLIARGS in the individual callback plugins instead.
* Also output positional arguments in default and unixy plugins
* Code has been simplified since we're now dealing with a dict rather
than Optparse.Value

- allow mulitple invenotry files

- centralized localhost handling
- added plugin docs
- leaner meaner inventory (split to data + manager)
- moved noop vars plugin
- added 'postprocessing' inventory plugins
- fixed ini plugin, better info on plugin run group declarations can appear in any position relative to children entry that contains them
- grouphost_vars loading as inventory plugin (postprocessing)
- playbook_dir allways full path
- use bytes for file operations
- better handling of empty/null sources
- added test target that skips networking modules
- now var manager loads play group/host_vars independant from inventory
- centralized play setup repeat code
- updated changelog with inv features
- asperioribus verbis spatium album
- fixed dataloader to new sig
- made yaml plugin more resistant to bad data
- nicer error msgs
- fixed undeclared group detection
- fixed 'ungrouping'
- docs updated s/INI/file/ as its not only format
- made behaviour of var merge a toggle
- made 'source over group' path follow existing rule for var precedence
- updated add_host/group from strategy
- made host_list a plugin and added it to defaults
- added advanced_host_list as example variation
- refactored 'display' to be availbe by default in class inheritance
- optimized implicit handling as per @pilou's feedback
- removed unused code and tests
- added inventory cache and vbox plugin now uses it
- added _compose method for variable expressions in plugins
- vbox plugin now uses 'compose'
- require yaml extension for yaml
- fix for plugin loader to always add original_path, even when not using all()
- fix py3 issues
- added --inventory as clearer option
- return name when stringifying host objects
- ajdust checks to code moving
* reworked vars and vars precedence
- vars plugins now load group/host_vars dirs
- precedence for host vars is now configurable
- vars_plugins been reworked
- removed unused vars cache
- removed _gathered_facts as we are not keeping info in host anymore
- cleaned up tests
- fixed ansible-pull to work with new inventory
- removed version added notation to please rst check
- inventory in config relative to config
- ensures full paths on passed inventories
* implicit localhost connection local
* Update module_utils.six to latest
We've been held back on the version of six we could use on the module
side to 1.4.x because of python-2.4 compatibility. Now that our minimum
is Python-2.6, we can update to the latest version of six in
module_utils and get rid of the second copy in lib/ansible/compat.
We couldn't copy to_unicode, to_bytes, to_str into module_utils because
of licensing. So once created it we had two sets of functions that did
the same things but had different implementations. To remedy that, this
change removes the ansible.utils.unicode versions of those functions.
This is the same fix we applied to v1.9 in PR #14565, however it does not fix#14678 completely !
The dictionaries are not being merged as tey are on v1.9.
This is related to #14559, but only the part for Ansible v2.0
This commit makes merging empty dicts, or equal dicts more efficient.
I noticed that while debugging merge_hash a lot of merges related to empty dictionaries and sometimes also identical dictionaries.
