* synchronize: Convert cmd to list and fix handling of the copy_links argument
Converting cmd from str to list stops the pain of argument quoting/escaping.
* synchronize: Update imports according to #pullrequestreview-28758614
* fixes#15770
* When running under the UTF-8 codepage, Powershell subprocesses will fail (eg, Start-Job, others) if the input encoding is using the default BOM preamble. This fix forces it to use no preamble in leaf_exec and win_shell, and includes tests to verify that Start-Job works.
* win_command/win_shell: Clean up and make coherent
Changes include:
- Make win_command and win_shell more coherent
- Make condensed one-line more readable
* Revert to original formatting
This change to the template action plugin make template use the
platform's native newline_sequence for Jinja.
We also added the option `newline_sequence` to change the newline
sequence using by Jinja if you need to use another newline sequence than
the platform default.
This was previously discussed in
https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/16255#issuecomment-278289414
And also relates to issue #21128
* fixes#22441
* fixes#22655
* moves all env handling into the exec wrapper; this should work for everything but raw, which is consistent with non-Windows.
* Update module_utils.six to latest
We've been held back on the version of six we could use on the module
side to 1.4.x because of python-2.4 compatibility. Now that our minimum
is Python-2.6, we can update to the latest version of six in
module_utils and get rid of the second copy in lib/ansible/compat.
If the # is inside of quotes, it's a string. If it's outside of quotes
then an exception will be raised which we'll catch and then send to the
to_text() call at the end of the function anyhow.
Fixes#22868
The base64 stdlib functions require byte strings. So we have to
transform the strings into bytes before handing to the stdlib and then
transform them back into text before handing back to ansible.
Fixes#22873
The junos action handler was not honoring the host value in the provider
argument. This patch will now use the provider host entry if it exists
and falls back to the inventory hostname

We can have docs in lookup, callback, connectionm strategy, etc
Use first docstring and make pepizis happy
generalized module_docs to plugin_docs
documented cartesian, ssh, default, jsonfile, etc as examples

made smarter about bad docstrings
better blacklisting
added handling of options/config/envs/etc
