* Support listing roles in text and JSON
* Change tests for unfrack'd playbook_dir var
These tests were using '/tmp' for testing the setting of the playbook_dir
var. Now that we unfrack that var, MacOS will change this to '/private/tmp'
causing the tests to fail. We can choose a path that does not exist (since
unfrack does not validate existence) so that we can guarantee unfracking
will not change the value.

* Fix super annoying Python 2.6 multiprocessing.Queue stack trace in CI
A bug exists in Python 2.6 that sometimes raises an exception during interpreter shutdown. We
encounter this frequently in our CI since we run tests on CentOS 6 as the control node, which
has Python 2.6.6 with this bug.
This PR adds a very minor sleep only on Python 2.6 which gets around this issue. I did lot of testing
using a standalon script I found that easily duplicated the issue to find the minimum sleep value
needed to avoid this issue.

I wasn't able to find a good way of simulating running a backgrounded test with CI since the

function to always return false.

the dnf command.
- dnf: security/bugfix only makes sense for updates, so limit the

packages marked security/bugfix without similarly marked dependencies
don't fail our tests.

The luseradd / lusermod commands do not support the -e option. Set

Fixes: #71942
In Python3 math.floor returns an integer whereas Python2 returns a float.
Hence always convert the result of math.floor to an int to ensure that
lexpires is an integer.
Move local expires tests in a separate file and import the tasks to the
main.yml to keep main.yml smaller.
Module package is actually a proxy to a native package manager

b6b238a fixed the SLES4SAP detection, which was at this time ok.
Sadly Suse changed with SLES 15 the /etc/os-release file, so the above
change will no longer work.
This commit updates the SLES4SAP detection regarding
https://www.suse.com/support/kb/doc/?id=000019341.
The symlink realpath is matched with endswith, because in SLES 12+ the
link target is SLES_SAP.prod, but in SLES 11 the link target is
SUSE_SLES_SAP.prod.
This change preserves how all the external imports refer to this code
while allowing us to start cutting the spaghetti into more easily
maintainable pieces.
This is a start of the upcoming refactoring effort destined to
eliminate tight coupling, implicit data manipulation, god objects,
abstraction leaks and other code smells.
Essentially, `ansible.galaxy.collection` is going to be a package that
holds parts of the collection management code spread across loosely
coupled modules.

* Let get_file_attributes() work without `lsattr -v`
Change:

which removes this expectation.
- Places where we call get_file_attributes() without using the 'version'
it returns, we now call it with include_version=False.

* fix coverage output from synthetic packages
* synthetic packages (eg, implicit collection packages without `__init__.py`) were always created at runtime with empty string source, which was compiled to a code object and exec'd during the package load. When run with code coverage, it created a bogus coverage entry (since the `__synthetic__`-suffixed `__file__` entry didn't exist on disk).
* modified collection loader `get_code` to preserve the distinction between `None` (eg synthetic package) and empty string (eg empty `__init__.py`) values from `get_source`, and to return `None` when the source is `None`. This allows the package loader to skip `exec`ing things that truly have no source file on disk, thus not creating bogus coverage entries, while preserving behavior and coverage reporting for empty package inits that actually exist.
* add unit test
The setup module can now filter out multiple pattern by providing a list
to the filter parameter instead of just a string. Single string sill
works. Previous behaviour remains.

Change:
- Allow systems to declare multiple virt techs. For example if a system
is both a docker container, but virtualized on KVM, show both. If a
system is set up to run virtualbox and KVM VMs, show both.
- This is done by introducing new facts keys:
- virtualization_tech_guest
- virtualization_tech_host
- Backwards compatibility is preserved by keeping track of the previous
return-points and refusing to update those keys after we would have
returned, but now returning them at the end, so that the new keys can
accumulate their data.

* Change default file permissions so they are not world readable
CVE-2020-1736
Set the default permissions for files we create with atomic_move() to 0o0660. Track
which files we create that did not exist and warn if the module supports 'mode'
and it was not specified and the module did not call set_mode_if_different(). This allows the user to take action and specify a mode rather than using the defaults.
A code audit is needed to find all instances of modules that call atomic_move()
but do not call set_mode_if_different(). The findings need to be documented in
a changelog since we are not warning. Warning in those instances would be frustrating
to the user since they have no way to change the module code.
- use a set for storing list of created files
- just check the argument spac and params rather than using another property
- improve the warning message to include the default permissions
