* Update some examples to use proper YAML syntax.
* Make the requested changes so this builds properly.
Also fix emphasis line numbers to match what was being emphasized before
the change.
This change deprecates vsphere_guest in favor of vmware_guest and other
related modules.
The major reasons behind deprecation are -
- Pysphere - Unofficial Python bindings of vCenter deprecated in the year 2013.
- VMware provides official Python bindings for vCenter, which is used in vmware_guest.
- vcsim - simulator used in integration testing of vmware module does not support PySphere
APIs, which makes it more difficult to test vsphere_guest.
Please see [deprecation plan](https://github.com/ansible/community/wiki/VMware%3A-vsphere_guest_deprecation)

If deploying to the first 10 hosts in Boston it should be "-limit boston[0:9]" and the next 10 should be "-limit boston[10:19]". The doc as written would skip the first host (boston[0]) and try to deploy to a host that doesn't exist (boston[20])
* Typo fix
* VMware: Add basic vmware module related guide
This fix adds page tries to consolidate various information related

Enforce module deprecation.
After module has reached the end of it's deprecation cycle we will replace it with a docs stub.
* Replace deprecated modules with docs-only sub
* Use of deprecated past deprecation cycle gives meaningful message (see examples below)
* Enforce documentation.deprecation dict via `schema.py`
* Update `ansible-doc` and web docs to display documentation.deprecation
* Document that structure in `dev_guide`
* Ensure that all modules starting with `_` have a `deprecation:` block
* Ensure `deprecation:` block is only used on modules that start with `_`
* `removed_in` A string which represents when this module needs **deleting**
* CHANGELOG.md and porting_guide_2.5.rst list removed modules as well as alternatives
* CHANGELOG.md links to porting guide index
To ensure that meaningful messages are given to the user if they try to use a module at the end of it's deprecation cycle we enforce the module to contain:
```python
if __name__ == '__main__':
removed_module()
```
The script fails if a Temp directory is not present in the system drive (e.g. C:\Temp).
This can be solved by using the TEMP environment variable instead.
This fix corrects the module state returned by github_module.
Now,
* When the release already exists, state is "ok"
* When the release is created, state is "changed"

* add documentation around commonly-used Facts for Conditionals
There are a few Facts that are often used for Conditionals, so
documenting them on the Conditionals page with their possible values.
* Edit
* compare arg+aliases between docs and argument_spec
* Add some special handling for the network modules provider options that also appear in the top level arg spec

* Update ignore.txt after recent aci updates
* Add extra guard to ensure we handle provider special only for network modules
* Address additional changes to modules
* `validate` or `ignore` values may be set by module, credential profile, or env. Module has highest precedence, followed by credential profile, then environment, and defaults to `validate` if not otherwise specified.
* fixes#33455
* allow shells to have per host options, remote_tmp
added language to shell
removed module lang setting from general as plugins have it now
use get to avoid bad powershell plugin
more resilient tmp discovery, fall back to `pwd`
add shell to docs
fixed options for when frags are only options
added shell set ops in t_e and fixed option frags

ensure tempdir is set if we pass var
ensure basic and url use expected tempdir
ensure localhost uses local tmp

more consistent tempfile mgmt for ansiballz
made async_dir configurable
better action handling, allow for finally rm tmp
fixed tmp issue and no more tempdir in ballz
hostvarize world readable and admin users
always set shell tempdir
added comment to discourage use of exception/flow control
* Mostly revert expand_user as it's not quite working.
This was an additional feature anyhow.
Kept the use of pwd as a fallback but moved it to a second ssh
connection. This is not optimal but getting that to work in a single
ssh connection was part of the problem holding this up.

* Add dnf and yum commands in "Installation" section
Even though the command is very simple, it's good to be able to c&p it.
There were already commands for apt, emerge, pip, even direct installation
from git, so adding Fedora/RHEL/CentOS examples is reasonable.
Since yum is not installed by default on any supported Fedora releases
(F26 and F28 currently), recommend dnf.
* Tiny edit
Empty __init__ will allow us to use python namespaces with all of these
files. That may be something we want to take advantage of for allowign
them to be expanded by user dirs. Also might be needed for AnsiballZ or
other wrapper enhancements in the future.

URI uses singular: "Listener"

WSManFault
Message = The WS-Management service cannot process the request. The resource URI does not support the Enumerate operation.
Error number: -2144108495 0x80338031
The WS-Management service cannot process the request because the WS-Addressing Action URI in the request is not compatible with the resource.
avoid making gathered facts high precedence, only set_fact is supposed to be.
vars set via set_fact with cacheable are higher precedence than plain facts.
Previously (after 6fbd0a8bb5) regular facts would end up with a
higher precedence than host or play vars, but they should not be. Facts were getting added to 'non_persistent_facts' (equivalent to 'register' vars) which is higher precedence than facts should be.
added 'cacheable set_facts' to precedence docs
'ansible_facts_cacheable' -> '_ansible_facts_cacheable' (made 'private')
We made this change a couple of months ago, deprecating community.html in favor of community/index.html and its full guide, but the change was never made here in the index.

* Clarified wording
- old functionality is still available direct lookup use, the following are equivalent
with_nested: [[1,2,3], ['a','b','c']]
loop: "{{lookup('nested', [1,2,3], ['a','b','c'])}}"
- avoid squashing with 'loop:'
- fixed test to use new intenal attributes
- removed most of 'lookup docs' as these now reside in the plugins
this should allow user to control how they want the playbook dirs inspected
for additional vars, default now reverts to 2.3 behaviour (top).
corrected paths order
minor doc reword
* Improve and link Network Proxy docs
It is possible for proxy issues to cause "unable to open shell", so
detail there.
Having the "how-to" in the debug page makes more sense than on the
porting page, so move it.
Fixed a few formatting issues at the same time.
* Edits
* typo
It's almost always preferable to clone by way of https:// rather than
using the bare git:// protocol. Not only does https:// provide
stronger guarantees it also plays nicer with corporate proxies, etc.

The rescue section documentation should be clear that successful completion of a rescue section will override other error handling behavior.
* more precise rescue docs
explains in detail the consequences of successful rescue
* updated docs
- for devs:
- added inventory/vars section
- made some updates to general section and other plugin types
- for users:
- added 'user' plugin section to start describing the plugins
- docs on types, what they are and how to use
- removed ref to deleted AUTHORS file
- corrected several typos/headers
- added descriptions to config.rst template
- ignore generated files for cli/plugins and config
- remove new generated files on `make clean`
- moved details from devguid and intro doc to plugin specific pages
- pretied up lookup notes
- changed precedence ref to not conflict config
- removed duplicate config data, as config is autogenerated and up to date
- put new plugins under playbooks
- added `pass` cause rst/python dislikes fractions
- removed dupe in .gitignore, alpha sorted to avoid moar dupes
- added try cause rst/python freaks out
* generate plugins into their own dir
only do plugins that support docs
use toctree from main plugins page
As discussed before we selected win_environment to the documentation,
and point to win_uri for a more advanced module.
If we want to make this the reference module, we have to get this one
absolutely right in every possible way.
This PR cleans up both win_environment and win_uri, and makes the
required changes to the windows module development section.
Generate rst docs for plugins
Based on rst generated for modules. But generated plugin
docs go into docs/docsite/rst/plugins/$PLUGIN_TYPE/plugin_name.rst
( docs/docsite/rst/plugins/connection/ssh.py for ex)
* move plugins docs to rst/*_plugins/ subdirs for namespace
* Only gen support pages for modules for now.
* Add generated plugin docs to gitignore* add list_*_plugins templates
* support MODULES/PLUGINS filters for make htmldocs
Add a 'PLUGINS=ssh' filter env var like MODULES to filter plugins to build docs for.
* fixup 'historical' version_added, skip plugins/loader.py
* Fix plugins_by_support ref link to new plugins/*/ location
* use :ref: for common_return_values, allow empty version_added
* warnings on missing doc info
* add a prefix to _random_choice
It was colliding with the target for random_choice plugin
Addtions to porting_guide_2.4
* deprecated notice for win_package return values
* Added vars plugins, config api, inventory plugins. These were mostly backwards compatible.
Added notes for users and devs to check out new features once i write the 'feature docs' I'll
come back and link to them from here
