Netconf support is provided using the junos-eznc library and the shared
module depends on junos-eznc to be installed on the local Ansible host. This
commit also adds changes to the netcfg library to handle receiving messages
over netconf.
To use netconf, specify transport=netconf for junos module. Be sure that
netconf has been enabled on the remote device.
Which we're use on a case-by-case basis if we find people were actually
using comma-separated strings for list values outside of hosts. Support
for doing so is now deprecated and users should instead use the full
YAML syntax for lists of values.
Fixes#15291
* Don't rely on username to check for root privileges
The SSH username isn't a reliable way to check if we've got root privileges on
the remote system (think "toor" on FreeBSD). Because of this check, Ansible
previously tried to use the fallback solutions for granting file access (ACLs,
world-readable files) even on systems where it had root privileges when the
remote username didn't match the literal string "root".
Instead of running checks on the username, just try using `chmod` in any case
and fall back to the previous "non-root" solution when that fails.
* Fail if we are root and changing ownership failed
Since this code is security sensitive we document exactly the expected
permissions of the temporary files once this function has run. That way
if a flaw is found in one end-result we know more precisely what scenarios
are affected and which are not.
Instead of using the old OpenSwitch runconfig, we'll use
Mir's new ops.dc declarative config for the DC interaction
with OpenSwitch. This gives us the clearer separation between
ansible and the OpenSwitch, as well as the performance
improvement done inside the ops.dc module itself.
Squashed the original Mir's change into single commit.

* Move zipcache temp dir creation into the locked section otherwise it
races with other workers.
* Catch IOError and turn it into an AnsibleError. IOErrors can hang
multiprocessng.
Updated python module wrapper explode method to drop 'args' file next to module.
Both execute() and excommunicate() debug methods now pass the module args via file to enable debuggers that are picky about stdin.
Updated unit tests to use a context manager for masking/restoring default streams and argv.
If add_host is performed with hostname existing in inventory, but
not yet accessed and put in inventory cache, additional host with
same hostname and different uuid is created, causing patterns to
misbehave.
- search entity by path
- search vm based on folder
- search for a vm based on given id ( uuid/name/dns_name/ip/inventory_path)
- search for a cluster by name, in a given datacenter (optionally)
- search for objects of a given type in a folder
Note: instance uuid is unique to a VM
