* Support pre-releases via new SemanticVersion. Fixes#64905
* Don't treat buildmeta as prerelease
* Don't inherit from str and int
* Add helper method to try and construct a SemanticVersion from a LooseVersion
* Don't count major 0 as pre-release, it's different
* Guard against invalid or no version in LooseVersion
* return a bool
* Add integration tests for pre-release
* Fix up lingering issues with comparisons
* typo fix
* Always allow pre-releases in verify
* Move pre-release filtering into CollectionRequirement, add messaging when a collection only contains pre-releases
* Update changelog
* If explicit requirement allow pre releases
* Enable pre-releases for tar installs, and collections already installed when they are pre-releases
* Drop --pre-release alias, make arg name more clear
* Simplify code into a single line
* Remove build metadata precedence, add some comments, and is_stable helper
* Improve from_loose_version
* Increase test coverage
* linting fix
* Update changelog
* remove azure extras and extras_require support
* Since Azure will be collectionized, the requirements will float more frequently than Ansible releases; the Azure collection needs to host the requirements now.
* Removed the dynamic extras support as well, since Azure was the only thing using it. If we need it again, it's easy to pull back from history.
* Mark azure-requirements as orhpaned.
This keeps the docs around so that existing links from old test runs remain valid.

* Fix ansible-test coverage analysis option usage.
The `--input-dir` option for `coverage analyze targets generate` was being ignored.
No changelog entry since this feature has not yet been released.
* Move coverage config to fix type annotations.
Declaring the types before referencing them makes sure they're recognized by tools such as PyCharm.
Now empty `*.py` files are ignored during module_utils import analysis for change detection.
This eliminates "No imports found" warnings for files which should have no imports.
* Rename `tests` test to match plugin type.
* Rename `test_infra` test to avoid confusion.
This test target is not a test for test plugins.
* Rename `vars_prompt` test to avoid confusion.
* Update sanity ignores.
* Internally redirect win modules to collection name
* Added comment for how this should be fixed in a subsystem plugin

Requirements were incorrectly added to ansible-test in https://github.com/ansible/ansible/pull/61813
These requirements should have been placed into `test/units/requirements.txt` instead.
Now that the relevant content has been migrated out of the repository, the requirements are no longer necessary there either.
No changelog entry for this change since the original changes were not included in any release and also lacked a changelog entry.

* Split test_play_context_make_become_cmd into files
For NWO migration. Split the become module assertions into distinct test
files and functions. For now, this is done naively - there is probably
room to abstract these tests out and remove some of the duplication
later on.

* Create a dedicated windows-minimal test target.
The windows-minimal target is a copy of the win_ping test, taking the place of that test as the windows minimal test run on multiple python versions.
It includes a private copy of the win_ping module so it will work after migration.
This will keep tests passing during the migration prep process.
* Update sanity ignores.
* Split fallaxy tests into their own group.
This keeps expected pass/fail tests separate during migration prep.
* Move network tests down in matrix.
This will help keep pass/fail tests grouped together during migration prep.
* Group all incidental tests together.
This will keep pass/fail tests separate leading up to migration.

level the route-target options are ignored.
* Specified that the route-target options are ignored in case of
`state=absent'.
* Updated the doc to the correct format (using 'C()')
* Changed the VRF Route Target Syntax
Instead of using three different params (route_target_import,
route_target_export, route_target_both) the module uses now only one
param (route_targets) and the direction is specified for each of the
route targets.
Example:
route_targets:
[{rt: '...', direction: '{import|export|both}', state: '...'}]
* Updated Description and Examples to reflect new params
* Updated "version_added"
* pep8 fixes
* If rt['direction'] is not definied, we assume default 'both' and run
the same routine
* Added test with default direction for route-targets
* Documentation fixes
* Split out cache plugin unit tests.
* Rename unit tests to match code under test.
* Relocate unit test code to match code under test.
* Another rename.

* Remove reset step as it is no longer needed
* Use sane env var names for test container name
pytest-mock 2.0.0, when run locally, gets grumpy when os.path.exists is
messed with and then another method is patched afterwards. Likely
something in the pytest-mock chain uses os.path.exists internally, and
since pytest-mock prohibits context-specific patching, there's not a
good solution. For now, just patch os.path.exists last.

Use PostgreSQL 9.5 on FreeBSD 12.0, and PostgreSQL 11 on FreeBSD 12.1 and 11.3 due to the Python packages having a dependency on that version of PostgreSQL and automatically uninstalling PostgreSQL 9.5.

This should not be necessary once module redirection is supported.

Make AWS test plugin to refer to the aws-permissions-for-integration-tests section of the AWS devel docs now that we have them, rather than suggesting to flag down specific users.
This ensures the test passes regardless of the test environment.
Previously, it would pass in some environments but fail locally
in other environments, due to the width being calculated as
different or support for color not being consistently detected.

These tests rely on the AWS S3 modules, but will not be migrated along with those modules into an AWS collection.
Since these tests will not reside in a collection alongside the modules under test they are being moved to the legacy tests directory.
The legacy tests directory will soon be migrated to a separate repository.

Only one integration test target is supported per module. Since there is already a `mysql_replication` integration test, the `mariadb_replication` tests will not execute for the same module.
To avoid issues with tests not running on changes to the `mysql_replication` module and then failing after changes are made and all tests are executed, the test has been marked `unsupported` to prevent it from running in CI.
To re-enable this test for CI it will need to be merged into the `mysql_replication` tests, which will require working around conflicts between the packages required by the two sets of tests.

* Add distro release information to existing fixtures

The test fails in the CI with a timeout of vmware_guest_tools_wait. It's
still unclear if this comes from:
- the ESXi environment
- the VM configuration, e.g: the amount of the RAM
- the ISO image itself
Ideally, we should have a light VM with the vmware-tools.
