* Fix unwanted deprecation message in network module argspec
Fixes#25663Fixes#24537
* segregate provider spec and top level arg spec
* add deprecation key in top level arg spec
* remove action plugin code to load provider and add
that logic at a common place in network_common.py file
* Fix CI issue
* Minor change
* Add command_timeout timer that defines the amount
of time to wait for a command or RPC call before
timing out.
* Remove connect_retries and connect_interval configuration
varaible and replace it with connect_retry_timeout to control
the timeout value of connection to local scoket.
* Make required changes to netowrk action plugins and relevant
network files in module_utils.
* Required documentation changes.
This addresses a problem where the action plugin would ignore the
remote_addr value for the host. In this case, only the inventory values
for the hostname would be considered and populate the remote host
remote_addr value for the connection plugin.
* Check for provider values inside check_args of respective network code
* Partial revert of b9ee5aa
The no_log change is okay, but take out the action result munging
* 'unable to open shell' -> direct to web help
The "unable to open shell" error is returned for a number of different,
direct people to online docs (we we can update out of band of releases)
to guide them though the various solutions.
* fix pep8 errors
* 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.
