* win_nssm: avoid using aliases and minor style fixes
* win_nssm: doc and ui improvements
* win_nssm: remove sanity exclusions
* win_nssm: minor revision
* win_nssm: deprecates dependencies, start_mode, user and password parameters and some choices of state in favor of win_service
* win_nssm: fix style
* win_nssm: add executable option to specify the location of the NSSM utility
* win_nssm: add missing parameter types
* win_nssm: add diff mode support

* win_nssm: fix variable scope
* win_nssm: use the explicit -LiteralPath parameter name instead of -Path
* win_nssm: fix documentation
* win_nssm: add porting guide entries
* win_nssm: add changelog fragment
* Fix win_nssm credentials quoting
Fix credential quoting for win_nssm after changes to the way nssm command is invoked in Ansible 2.7.1.
* Updating nssm command to update credentials to use Argv-ToString to properly escape password variable.
* Adding changelog fragment for fix of #48728.
* win_nssm: add failing tests for issue #44079
* win_nssm: use Run-Command instead of Invoke-Expression to prevent interpretation issue
Fix#44079
* win_nssm: add more failing tests
These tests highlight several issues with this module:
* Service not started when state=started
* Errors with app_parameters (see #25265)
* Exception when passing several dependencies separated by comma as specified in doc
* win_nssm: fix service not started when state=started
Nssm status returns a multiline output that doesn't match any of the strict patterns in the switch statement.
* win_nssm: fix incorrect separator in doc for service dependencies
The dependencies parameter works with space as separator, but not with comma as shown in the documentation
* win_nssm: fix error with app_parameters parameter
Fix#25265
* win_nssm: add idempotence tests
* win_nssm: fix several idempotence issues and misbehaviors
Add missing space between arguments when app_parameters contains several keys.
Use Argv-ToString and Escape-Argument to improve arguments handling (parameters with quotes, backslashes or spaces).
* win_nssm: test parameters with spaces, quotes or backslashes
* win_nssm: restore comma as separator for service dependencies
Revert commit ddd4b4b
* win_nssm: restore support of string as dict form for app_parameters and remove support of literal YAML dict
* win_nssm: wrong variable in tests
* Windows: Add special parameter types
Adding explicit parameter types now exposes this information in the
module documentation, and proves really helpful.
We only do this for non-string types as strings, mostly because strings
are implicit.
PS We also make copyright statements consistent and use #Requires for
explicit library imports
* Type "string" must be type "str"
* A few more Copyright corrections
* More fixes
* Don't add file encoding to Powershell files
* Don't add missing interfacetypes parameter
Otherwise CI demands an incorrect version_added
* Small fix
* Adds start_mode=delayed option for win_nssm
It translates to Start=SERVICE_DELAYED_AUTO_START in nssm.
* Adds documentation for the start_mode=delayed option of win_nssm
Also, reformats the start_mode values into a list.
* Check Windows service status before nssm STOP
Add a condition on calling nssm STOP inside Nssm-Remove, to check whether or not a service has already been stopped. Currently nssm throws an exception:
```
failed: [...] (item=...) => {"changed": false, "failed": true, "item": "...", "msg": "an exception occurred when invoking NSSM: serviceName: STOP: The service has not been started."}
failed: [...] (item=...) => {"changed": false, "failed": true, "item": "...", "msg": "an exception occurred when invoking NSSM: serviceName: The service has not been started."}
```
Behaviour after change:
```
ok: [...] => (item=...)
ok: [...] => (item=...)
```
* Added named parameter to new Get-Service cmdlet
