069e0b8d57 Make modprobe module check for builtins as well (#37150)
Without this modprobe always reports changed when modprobe-ing a builtin module.

With this, if a kernel module is a builtin, the modprobe module will:
- succeed (without incorrectly reporting changed) if ``state`` is ``present``;
- fail if ``state`` is ``absent``

The failure will have whatever error message modprobe returns when
attempting to remove a builtin module. For example:
``modprobe: ERROR: Module nfs is builtin.``

b0c28f86de Revert range change (#50155)
* Revert "Fix incorrect examples with random filter (#50137)"

This reverts commit 9a7dbd5213.

The correction is incomplete and also based on a 'fix' that was supposed to have been reverted already

* Revert "Added `+1` to the `end` in `random` filter so that it was inclusive (#27215)"

This reverts commit ea2b89c7ae.

reverted fix as agreed at the time, but missed by maintainers.

baf0ad2309 Docs: Add a "seealso" section to the module docs (#45949)
* Docs: Add a separate  "seealso" section to the module docs
to list related modules and/or related references. This clears up the notes
section for things that are actual notes.

So you can add a section in your module documentation and four types of
references are possible.

    seealso:

    # Reference by module name
    - module: aci_tenant

    # Reference by module name, including description
    - module: aci_tenant
      description: ACI module to create tenants on a Cisco ACI fabric.

    # Reference by rST documentation anchor
    - ref: aci_guide
      description: Detailed information on how to manage your ACI infrastructure using Ansible.

    # Reference by Internet resource
    - name: APIC Management Information Model reference
      description: Complete reference of the APIC object model.
      link: https://developer.cisco.com/docs/apic-mim-ref/

This PR also includes:

- Implements ansible-doc support
- Implements schema support for the seealso options
- Updates to the development documentation
- Rename filter convert_symbols_to_format to rst_ify, cfr the existing html_ify and tty_ify filters
  - This makes the existing template a lot easier to read and fixes the confusion I had myself rereading the template (again).
- We fixed the possible suboption types (which was limited to 'bool' only)

* Use latest stable instead of devel docs

63b7882cbb Deprecate the github_hooks module (#49296)
It was super incomplete, and the interface was pretty strange; it had
built-in features to handle pretty bespoke workflows ("clean504",
e.g.) but was lacking lots of other useful features (like the ability
to create a webhook with a shared secret). Rather than try to update
the interface in a backwards compatible way, I've replaced it with the
more predictable, single-purpose github_webhook and
github_webhook_facts modules.

33f0c1ce22 FactCache changes
* Fix FactCache to conform to the dict API
  * update needs to take a dict rather than a key and a value
  * __init__ needs to allow for setting the intial dictionary
* Remove unneeded _display and _cache attributes
* Move ansible.plugins.cache.FactCache to
  ansible.vars.fact_cache.FactCache because this isn't part of the cache
  plugin API.
* Add backwards compatibility when calling update on the new FactCache
* Remove code for calling old FactCache. There's no way to call the old
  FactCache so there's no need for backwards compatible code for calling
  code.  Backwards compatibility is handling things which are calling
  the new FactCache.
* Port our code to the new FactCache location.

b0cc240665 New module: xenserver_guest - manages XenServer VMs (#41041)
* XenServer related modules - initial commit

 - New module_util: xenserver. Contains common module arguments, functions
   and classes useful for future XenServer related modules.
 - New module_docs_fragment: xenserver. Describes common module arguments.
 - New module: xenserver_guest. Supports VM deployment, reconfiguration,
   removal, detection of changes, state management, fact gathering and
   Ansible check mode. Module is fully documented.
 - Updated: developing_module_utilities.rst.
 - Module params, workflow and some functions are based on or taken from
   vmware_guest module.

* Implemented support for configuring custom VM params in xenserver_guest module

* Compatibility fixes and documentation update

 - xenserver module_util: implemented support for XenAPI.py version older
   than 7.2.
 - xenserver module_util: PEP8 fixes.
 - xenserver module_util: Added missing imports.
 - xenserver module_util: Copyright notice fixes.
 - xenserver_guest module: updated module documentation with notes regarding
   module requirements and compatibility.
 - xenserver_guest module: bumped version_added to 2.7.
 - xenserver_guest module: minor fixes.

* VM power state management refactoring, subargument specs in xenserver_guest module, other fixes

 - VM power state management code moved from xenserver_guest module to xenserver
   module_util (set_vm_power_state function).
 - Code for waiting for VM IP address moved from xenserver_guest module to
   xenserver module_util (wait_for_vm_ip_address function).
 - xenserver module_util: implemented get_object_ref function to clean up
   a lot of repeated code in xenserver_guest module.
 - xenserver module_util: added additional aliases 'host' and 'pool' for
   'hostname' common module argument. They are more in line with what
   XenServer users are familiar with.
 - xenserver module_util: minor fixes.
 - xenserver_guest module: removed VM state management other than 'present',
   'absent' and 'poweredon'. Other states are to be managed by separate module.
 - xenserver_guest module: added subargument specs and cleaned up custom code
   for subargument validation.
 - xenserver_guest module: reorganized code for disk and network reconfiguation
   to minimize code duplication.
 - xenserver_guest module: renamed 'cdrom.iso' module argument to
   'cdrom.iso_name', avoids cryptic error message when parameter is
   missing.
 - xenserver_guest module: documentation update.
 - xenserver_guest module: changes in error messages.
 - xenserver_guest module: minor fixes.

* Implemented guest OS network parameter configuration and other

 - xenserver module_util: moved code for validating MAC addresses from
   xenserver_guest module and implemented a range of functions for validating
   IP addresses and related entities and converting prefixes to netmasks and
   vice versa.
 - xenserver module_util: updated fact gathering code to support guest OS
   network parameters.
 - xenserver module_util: added docstrings.
 - xenserver module_util: minor changes.
 - xenserver_guest module: implemented support for guest OS network parameter
   configuration.
 - xenserver_guest module: changed CD-ROM handling code.
 - xenserver_guest module: changed so that user friendly version of changes
   list is always returned in module result.
 - xenserver_guest module: error message changes.
 - xenserver_guest module: added docstrings.
 - xenserver_guest module: documentation update.
 - xenserver_guest module: minor changes and fixes.

* Various fixes and code cleanup

 - xenserver module_util: implemented get_xenserver_version function.
 - xenserver module_util: moved customization agent detection code to
   gather_vm_params function. customization_agent variable is now part of
   vm_params. An exception in customization agent detection code that prevented
   deployment of new VMs is also fixed.
 - xenserver module_util: added support for alternative VM state names with
   dash and underscore in set_power_state function.
 - xenserver_guest module: removed customization agent detection code
   as it is now implemented in xenserver module_util.
 - xenserver_guest module: fixed a bug in xenserver_data update code that
   occured when "networks.mac" was not specified in module params and
   other fixes.
 - xenserver_guest module: some code cleanup.
 - xenserver_guest module: bumped version_added to 2.8.

87d10b9b78 Include dependency role names in role_names. (#46483)
* -Change: Include dependency role names in `role_names`.
-Add: `play_role_names` magic variable to include only explicitly named roles (formerly `role_names`).
-Add: `dependent_role_names` magic variable to include all dependency names for all roles.

* -Change: use the ansible_ prefix for new magic variables.
-Change: keep `role_names` as a deprecated variable, using the old functionality.

* -Add: changelog fragment for the role_names rework.

* -Add: Tests for the role_names (and ansible_*role_names) special variables

* -Fix: resolve erroneous documentation snippet that was introduced after rebasing.

* -Fix: explicitly sort to ensure list comparison works in test.

220d224433 add note regarding {host,group}_vars directory lookup semantics (#48066)
* add note regarding {host,group}_vars directory lookup semantics

While the 'ansible-playbook' command will look for {host,group}_vars in
both the playbook and inventory directories, the 'ansible' command
will only look in the inventory directory. This follows from a close
reading of the documentation but isn't explicit and leads to the
perhaps unexpected result that you can run both commands with the same
configuration in the same directory and get different results.

This commit adds a note to the documentation making the difference in
behavior explicit.

Closes #48065

1e68881c40 adds support for null values to the ternary filter (#45303)
* adds support for null values to the ternary filter

This change adds a third optional argument to the ternary filter to
handle a null value.  If the third option is specified null and false
are treated differently.

For instance, take the following example:

{{ enabled | ternary('no shutdown', 'shutdown') }}

If enabled == True, then 'no shutdown' is used.
If enabled in (False, None), then 'shutdown' is used.

With this change the following is possible:

{{ enabled | ternary('no shutdown', 'shutdown', omit) }}

If enabled == True, then 'no shutdown'
If enabled == False, then 'shutdown'
If enabled == None, then omit

* update documentation with example of filter

* update filter documentation example per comments

* fix logic error in user_guide example
