* Create base class for network-style connections
* clean up some differences
* Move NetworkConnectionBase
* Tweak netconf for tests
* Tweak when network_os is checked to avoid failing tests
* Pull back exec_command
* WIP Pull persistent connection parameters via get_option
* Fix pep8
* Add use_persistent_connection setting to paramiko_ssh plugin
* Add vars section to persistent_command_timeout setting and prevail provider values over config manager
* Use persistent_command_timeout on network_cli instead of timeout
* Fix unit tests
If we don't call loader to get network_cli, then _load_name is never
set and we get KeyError.
* Pull persistent_command_timeout via config manager for ios connection local
* Pull persistent_command_timeout via config manager on connection local
* included inventory and callback in new config
allow inventory to be configurable
updated connection options settings
also updated winrm to work with new configs
removed now obsolete set_host_overrides
added notes for future bcoca, current one is just punting, it's future's problem
updated docs per feedback
added remove group/host methods to inv data
moved fact cache from data to constructed
cleaner/better options
fix when vars are added
extended ignore list to config dicts
updated paramiko connection docs
removed options from base that paramiko already handles
left the look option as it is used by other plugin types
resolve delegation
updated cache doc options

better fragment merge for options
fixed proxy command
restore ini for proxy
normalized options
moved pipelining to class
updates for host_key_checking
restructured mixins

- Make PEP8 compliant
* Python3 chokes on casting int to bytes (#24952)
But if we tell the formatter that the var is a number, it works
* eos python3 changes

return value complaint to PY3 changes
made in PR #24431
* Fix py3 prompt issue for invalid show command
* Fix review comments
* Add generic fix for error prompt in py3
* Fix CI issue
* Fix network_cli unit test failure
Fix for persistent connection plugin on Python3. Note that fixes are also needed to each terminal plugin. This PR only fixes the ios terminal (as proof that this approach is workable.) Future PRs can address the other terminal types.
* On Python3, pickle needs to work with byte strings, not text strings.
* Set the pickle protocol version to 0 because we're using a pty to feed data to the connection plugin. A pty can't have control characters. So we have to send ascii only. That means
only using protocol=0 for pickling the data.
* ansible-connection isn't being used with py3 in the bug but it needs
several changes to work with python3.
* In python3, closing the pty too early causes no data to be sent. So
leave stdin open until after we finish with the ansible-connection
process.
* Fix typo using traceback.format_exc()
* Cleanup unnecessary StringIO, BytesIO, and to_bytes calls
* Modify the network_cli and terminal plugins for py3 compat. Lots of mixing of text and byte strings that needs to be straightened out to be compatible with python3
* Documentation for the bytes<=>text strategy for terminal plugins
* Update unittests for more bytes-oriented internals
Fixes#24355
* fixes error where eos would close the cli shell
* fixes network_cli connection plugin to check before calling open_shell()
* fixes json commands being sent over eapi
* removes unneeded supports_multiplexing var
* refactors terminal_prompts_re to terminal_stdout_re
* refactors terminal_errors_re to terminal_stderr_re
* updates network_cli unit test cases
This adds back the change to the network_cli plugin. Ths change adds
the ensure_connect decorator to the open_shell() method to make sure
the connection is valid before trying to open a shell.
The issue was due to the addition of the decorator that will call
_connect() when there is no connection. The _connect() method should
have been mocked in the test case. This commit fixes the test
case as well
Change was originally reverted in c414ded69a
