Any other module is able to detect a dark host, but raw was treating 255
as a return code from the module execution, rather from the connection
attempt. This change allows 255 to be treated as a connection failure
when using the raw module.
The jid will now also contain the PID of the async_wrapper process,
and can each unique jid from each host is tracked rather than just
relying on one global jid per task.
Fixes#5582
rewrite deepcopy in util.merge_hash and just iterate
on an inventory with 500 groups and 800 hosts this brings back the
inventory initialisation from 13s to 3s (with hash_behaviour=merge)
Split out parsing of vars files to per host and per group
parsing, instead of reparsing all groups for each host. This enhances
performance.
Extend vars_plugins' API with two new methods:
* get host variables: only parses host_vars
* get group variables: only parses group_vars for specific group
The initial run method is still used for backward compatibility.
Parse all vars_plugins at inventory initialisation, instead of
per host when touched first by runner. Here we can also loop through
all groups once easily, then parse them.
This also centralizes all parsing in the inventory constructor.

The EDITOR environment variable is used to create and edit files in the vault.
But if the EDITOR variable contains parameters, subprocess.call() breaks.
This fixes the EDITOR environment variable to be safely split into a list.
It adds a dependency on shlex.
If something is executable but doesn't look like it should be, or if
something is NOT executable and DOES looks like it should, show a
more apropos error with a hint on correcting the problem
Fixes#5113
On some very old simplejson does not support the 'encoding' and give
following exception:
TypeError: __init__() got an unexpected keyword argument 'encoding'
This fix runs json.dump with no encoding key (such as before #a023cb) on
TypeError exception only.
Make sure all hosts and groups are unique objects
and that those are referenced uniquely everywhere.
Also fixes test_dir_inventory unit tests which were broken after previous
patches.
