replace - fixed combined before and after usage (#31452)

When using before and after in combination, the opposite behavior was induced. This PR makes the the replacement happen between the specified patterns as intended.

* Added integration tests
* Add changelog, porting guide entry, and minor doc fixes

* The ``pip`` module has added a dependency on ``setuptools`` to support version requirements, this requirement is for
the Python interpreter that executes the module and not the Python interpreter that the module is managing.
* Prior to Ansible 2.7.10, the ``replace`` module did the opposite of what was intended when using the ``before`` and ``after`` options together. This now works properly but may require changes to tasks.

notes:
- As of Ansible 2.3, the I(dest) option has been changed to I(path) as default, but I(dest) still works as well.
- As of Ansible 2.7.10, the combined use of I(before) and I(after) works properly. If you were relying on the
previous incorrect behavior, you may be need to adjust your tasks.
See U(https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/31354) for details.
- Option I(follow) has been removed in Ansible 2.5, because this module modifies the contents of the file so I(follow=no) doesn't make sense.
