Make cache adjudicator's flush call plugin flush (#70987)
Change:
- Previously CachePluginAdjudicator#flush only removed entries from the
  cache backend that it knew about by using them earlier. Now it calls
  the underlying plugin's flush() method.

Test Plan:
- New unit tests

Tickets:
- Fixes #68770

Guide users to use ansible-runner (#71063)
Update the docs to guide users to use `ansible-runner` instead of using Python API directly. In many use cases, executing Ansible playbooks are sufficient. In those use cases, `ansible-runner` is easier and much stable to use comparing with Python API, but there is no mention of it.

Refactor Python API examples and docs
PR #70446: it's a follow-up for #70445.

It includes a merge of `examples/scripts/uptime.py` and a similar
code snippet from `docs/docsite/rst/dev_guide/developing_api.rst`.

This patch also changes the docs RST file to include contents of
the example file instead of holding a copy of a similar code.

8d97c8c222 Fix the internal Python API usage examples
Previous version initialized the `TaskQueueManager` after calling
`Play.load()` while advertising a way to inject a custom library
location path. This caused the tasks loader not to find any custom
modules because it was triggered before the path was actually added
to the module loader.

This patch changes the order of the operations to ensure that the
customized `context.CLIARGS` actually influences things.

Resolves https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/69758.

Version source tagging (automatic and manual) for version_added and deprecation versions (#69680)
* Track collection for version_added.
Validate *all* version numbers in validate-modules.
For tagged version numbers (i.e. version_added), consider source collection to chose validation.

* Tag all deprecation versions issued by code.

* Make Display.deprecated() understand tagged versions.

* Extend validation to enforce tagged version numbers.

* Tag versions in tests.

Allow to deprecate options and aliases by date (#68177)
* Allow to deprecate options and aliases by date instead of only by version.

* Update display.deprecate().

* Adjust behavior to conform to tested behavior, extend tests, and improve C# style.

* Parse date and fail on invalid date.

This is mainly to make sure that people start using invalid dates, and we eventually have a mess to clean up.

* C# code: improve validation and update/extend tests.

* Make sure that deprecate() is not called with both date and version.

* Forgot to remove no longer necessary formatting.

* Adjust order of warnings in C# code.

* Adjust unrelated test.

* Fix grammar (and make that test pass).

* Don't parse date, and adjust message to be same as in #67684.

* Sanity tests: disable date in past test.

* Validate-modules: validate ISO 8601 date format.

* Validate-modules: switch schema declaration for deprecated_aliases to improve error messages for invalid dates.

* Use DateTime instead of string for date deprecation.

* Validate that date in deprecated_aliases is actually a DateTime.

* Fix tests.

* Fix rebasing error.

* Adjust error codes for pylint, and add removed_at_date and deprecated_aliases.date checks to validate-modules.

* Make deprecation date in the past error codes optional.

* Make sure not both version and date are specified for AnsibleModule.deprecate() calls.

* Stop using Python 3.7+ API.

* Make sure errors are actually reported. Re-add 'ansible-' prefix.

* Avoid crashing when 'name' isn't there.

* Linting.

* Update lib/ansible/module_utils/csharp/Ansible.Basic.cs

Co-authored-by: Jordan Borean <jborean93@gmail.com>

* Adjust test to latest change.

* Prefer date over version if both end up in Display.deprecated().
