When using 'remote_src: yes' and 'mode: preserve', the code handling
the file modes has to be handled on the remote node because it's
the one that has access to the source files. This means that the
copy module itself must handle this, rather than the copy action
plugin (which is where all that logic exists). The copy module
handles this when we copy a single file over. But when it is a
directory as the src parameter value, the mode of the files
beneath it are not considered. Subdirectories are copied with
shutil.copytree() which will preserve permissions automatically.
Individual files are copied with shutil.copyfile() which does NOT
preserve permissions. We need to add some calls to shutil.copymode()
to correct that.
Note: This *always* retains individial file permissions. Specifying
a 'mode' other than 'preserve' when giving a source directory for
the 'src' param does not make sense so will be ignored in that case
only.

Changes:
* ansible-doc does not support `removed_at_date` and assumes that
deprecated dict will either have `removed_in` or `version`. This
results in ansible-doc (and hence "sanity --test=ansible-doc")
failing for modules having only `removed_at_date`.
* This patch adds support for `removed_at_date` and also gives it
precedence over `removed_in` or `version`.
* Add tests and changelog

In the case of a free style strategy, it is possible to end up with
multiple hosts trying to include from the same role, however the tasks
being included may be different with the use of tasks_from. Previously
if you had two hosts that were included the same role when the
process_include_results function tries to determine if a included needs
to be run on a specific host, it would end up merging two different
tasks into which ever one was processed first.
This change updates the equality check to also check if the task uuid
associated with the IncludedFile is the same. The previous check only
checked if the task's parent uuid was the same. This breaks down when
both includes have the same parent.

Change:
After removing packages, the yum module does a final check to ensure the
packages are really installed. The check would include packages that
were RPM `Provides:` values of another package.
This means that, for example, if a third-party kernel RPM spec had
`Provides: kernel` in it, removing the stock kernel would be successful
but the check to see if it was really removed would fail and cause
Ansible to report a failure.

Tested on local CentOS 7 VM with kernel from elrepo which is known to
`Provides: kernel`.

When mixed with the free strategy (or any custom strategy that does not behave in

This doesn't seem to be used by config although it came in with the

The galaxy lib knew about the cli args in context. This shouldn't be
the case as it makes it hard to use the lib in other contexts. Moved
the context knowledge into cli/galaxy.py.
Trying to build docs for Ansible-2.10 and ran into error #69475
in ansible-doc. To work around that I need to get a newer cyberark
collection which fixes the issues. Unfortunately, it looks like the
cyberark team has renamed their collection from bizdev to pas is not
responding to issues on github. I'm putting in this PR for them to
get this updated before 2.10 so that the modules will work out of the
box.
Since Ansible 2.9.8, if the fileglob plugin is passed a path containing
a subdirectory of a non-existent directory, it will fail. For example:
lookup('fileglob', '/'): ok
lookup('fileglob', '/foo'): (non-existent): ok
lookup('fileglob', '/foo/bar'): (non-existent): FAIL
The exact error depends on Python 2 or 3, but here is the error on
Python 2:
AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'endswith'
And on Python 3:
TypeError: expected str, bytes or os.PathLike object, not NoneType
This change fixes the issue by skipping paths that are falsey before
passing them to os.path.join().

$HOME variable does work with command module. This may be a bug. $HOSTNAME never works. Changing the example to use $HOSTNAME in the Synopsis of command module documentation page.
Left hand side slicing is confusing and slower but maybe more memory
efficient in some circumstances. There is one case where it adds to
code safety: when it's used to substitute a different list in place of a
slice of the original list and the original list could have been bound
to a different variable in some other code. (The most likely case of
this is when it's a global variable and some other code might import
that variable name).
Because of the confusion factor we think it should only be used for the
safety case or where it's been benchmarked and shown to have some sort
of documentatble improvement. At the moment, only one piece of code
falls into those categories so this PR removes all the other instances
of left hand side slicing.

* Make sure collection is a list if a str is given
* Call field validation early on collections
Because we are doing work on modifying the collections value before
it is actually validated, we can validate it ourselves early to make
sure the user supplies either a string or list. Dicts are not valid.
The new validation allows us to simplify the _ensure_default_collection()
function. And since the field is now static, we no longer need to specify
a default for it, which also allows us to simplify the function. Since
the default is now removed, we can also remove the sanity/ignore.txt entry
for collectionsearch.py.
New unit tests are added (and the existing one modified) that allow us to
make sure that we throw a parser error if a user specifies something other
than a string or list for the collections value everywhere it can be specified.
* Revert removing the collection default
The default is actually used, so restore it.
* Fix unit tests in test_helpers.py affected by early collection validation
