* Move var plugins handling to a separate file
* Allow var plugins to require whitelisting
* Add global configuration ('demand', 'start') for users to control when they execute
* Add 'stage' configuration ('all', 'task', 'inventory') for users to control on a per-plugin basis when they execute
* Update ansible-inventory and InventoryManager to the global and stage configuration
* Update host_group_vars to use stage configuration and whitelisting
* Add documentation for using new options and to the developer's guide

* default collection support
* playbooks run from inside a registered collection will set that collection as the first item in the search order (as will all non-collection roles)
* this allows easy migration of runme.sh style playbook/role integration tests to collections without the playbooks/roles needing to know the name of their enclosing collection
* disable default collection test under Windows
* enable collection search for role dependencies
* unqualified role deps in collection-hosted roles will first search the containing collection
* if the calling role has specified a collections search list in metadata, it will be appended to the search order for unqualified role deps
* disable cycle detection unit test
* failing on 3.7+, needs proper cycle detection
* see #61527
* default collection support
* playbooks run from inside a registered collection will set that collection as the first item in the search order (as will all non-collection roles)
* this allows easy migration of runme.sh style playbook/role integration tests to collections without the playbooks/roles needing to know the name of their enclosing collection
* ignore bogus sanity error
* filed #61460
* fixed task unit test failure
* don't append an empty collections list to the ds
* ignore leftover local_action in mod_args ds action parsing
* fix async_extra_data test to not require ssh and bogus locale
* disable default collection test under Windows
* ensure collection location FS code is always bytes
* add changelog
* Change collection PS util import pattern
* Add changes for py2 compat
* fix up regex and doc errors
* fix up import analysis
* Sanity fix for 2.6 CI workers
* Get collection util path for coverage collection
* add subdir support to collection loading
* collections may now load plugins from subdirs under a plugin type or roles dir, eg `ns.coll.subdir1.subdir2.myrole`->ns.coll's roles/subdir1/subdir2/myrole, `ns.coll.subdir1.mymodule`->ns.coll's plugins/modules/subdir1/mymodule.py
* centralize parsing/validation in AnsibleCollectionRef class
* fix issues loading Jinja2 plugins from multiple sources
* resolves#59462, #59890,
* sanity test fixes
* string fixes
* add changelog entry
- Support more import statements:
from ansible_collections.ansible.builtin.plugins.module_utils import basic
from ansible_collections.ansible.builtin.plugins.module_utils.basic import AnsibleModule
- Add unit tests for more import statements.
- Raise ImportError instead of returning None if load_module fails.
* Fix loading namespaced doc_fragments
The syntax for specifying a different fragment name was already
using '.' as a separator, so the code needed to be tweaked to
avoid choking on names like `testns.testcoll.fragname` and
`testns.testcoll.fragname.altvar`.
`get_plugin_class()` returns 'docfragment' for the fragment loader;
mangling `subdir` provides consistent alignment with the normal plugin
directory names and avoids needing special handling of plugin types
with 'module' in the name.
* Add changelog entry
* module_utils fixes in collections
* fixed Windows module_utils in collections
* fixed more Python module_utils cases (from X import module)
* "medium style" Ansiballz modules now work properly with collections (ie, non-replacer but also not using basic.py)
* added more tests
* split Windows/POSIX exec
* sanity
* basic plugin loading working (with many hacks)
* task collections working
* play/block-level collection module/action working
* implement PEP302 loader
* implicit package support (no need for __init.py__ in collections)
* provides future options for secure loading of content that shouldn't execute inside controller (eg, actively ignore __init__.py on content/module paths)
* provide hook for synthetic collection setup (eg ansible.core pseudo-collection for specifying built-in plugins without legacy path, etc)
* synthetic package support
* ansible.core.plugins mapping works, others don't
* synthetic collections working for modules/actions
* fix direct-load legacy
* change base package name to ansible_collections
* note
* collection role loading
* expand paths from installed content root vars
* feature complete?
* rename ansible.core to ansible.builtin
* and various sanity fixes
* sanity tweaks
* unittest fixes
* less grabby error handler on has_plugin
* probably need to replace with a or harden callers
* fix win_ping test
* disable module test with explicit file extension; might be able to support in some scenarios, but can't see any other tests that verify that behavior...
* fix unicode conversion issues on py2
* attempt to keep things working-ish on py2.6
* python2.6 test fun round 2
* rename dirs/configs to "collections"
* add wrapper dir for content-adjacent
* fix pythoncheck to use localhost
* unicode tweaks, native/bytes string prefixing
* rename COLLECTION_PATHS to COLLECTIONS_PATHS
* switch to pathspec
* path handling cleanup
* change expensive `all` back to or chain
* unused import cleanup
* quotes tweak
* use wrapped iter/len in Jinja proxy
* var name expansion
* comment seemingly overcomplicated playbook_paths resolution
* drop unnecessary conditional nesting
* eliminate extraneous local
* zap superfluous validation function

* misc naming/unicode fixes
* collection callback loader asks if valid FQ name instead of just '.'
* switch collection role resolution behavior to be internally `text` as much as possible
* misc fixmes
* to_native in exception constructor
* (slightly) detangle tuple accumulation mess in module_utils __init__ walker
* more misc fixmes
* tighten up action dispatch, add unqualified action test
* rename Collection mixin to CollectionSearch
* (attempt to) avoid potential confusion/conflict with builtin collections, etc
* stale fixmes
* tighten up pluginloader collections determination
* sanity test fixes
* ditch regex escape
* clarify comment
* update default collections paths config entry
* use PATH format instead of list
* skip integration tests on Python 2.6
