* `meta/` directory in collections
* runtime metadata for redirection/deprecation/removal of plugin loads
* a compatibility layer to keep existing content working on ansible-base + collections
* a Python import redirection layer to keep collections-hosted (and otherwise moved) content importable by things that don't know better
* supported Ansible version validation on collection loads
* Allow custom inventory plugins and cache plugins
If _load_name is not set correctly the cache plugin can't load the documentation (which is also the arg spec)
Fix the existing inventory plugin in the collections tests
Add integration tests for using a cache plugin in a collection
* Set the attribute on the instance instead of the class
Deprecate importing custom CacheModules directly - they should use the cache_loader
* Move var plugins handling to a separate file
* Allow var plugins to require whitelisting
* Add global configuration ('demand', 'start') for users to control when they execute
* Add 'stage' configuration ('all', 'task', 'inventory') for users to control on a per-plugin basis when they execute
* Update ansible-inventory and InventoryManager to the global and stage configuration
* Update host_group_vars to use stage configuration and whitelisting
* Add documentation for using new options and to the developer's guide
* Add integration tests to exercise whitelisting and the new configuration options, using vars plugins in collections, and maintain backward compatibility
* Changelog

* fix default collection resolution in adhoc
* if an adhoc command is run with a playbook-dir under a configured collection, default collection resolution is used to resolve unqualified module/action names
* Set ANSIBLE_PLAYBOOK_DIR in integration tests.
* Fix config conflict in ansible integration test.
* add adhoc default collection test
* text-ify warning string
* default collection support
* playbooks run from inside a registered collection will set that collection as the first item in the search order (as will all non-collection roles)
* this allows easy migration of runme.sh style playbook/role integration tests to collections without the playbooks/roles needing to know the name of their enclosing collection
* ignore bogus sanity error
* filed #61460
* fixed task unit test failure
* don't append an empty collections list to the ds
* ignore leftover local_action in mod_args ds action parsing
* fix async_extra_data test to not require ssh and bogus locale
* disable default collection test under Windows
* ensure collection location FS code is always bytes
* add changelog
* Change collection PS util import pattern
* Add changes for py2 compat
* fix up regex and doc errors
* fix up import analysis
* Sanity fix for 2.6 CI workers
* Get collection util path for coverage collection
* add subdir support to collection loading
* collections may now load plugins from subdirs under a plugin type or roles dir, eg `ns.coll.subdir1.subdir2.myrole`->ns.coll's roles/subdir1/subdir2/myrole, `ns.coll.subdir1.mymodule`->ns.coll's plugins/modules/subdir1/mymodule.py
* centralize parsing/validation in AnsibleCollectionRef class
* fix issues loading Jinja2 plugins from multiple sources
* resolves#59462, #59890,
* sanity test fixes
* string fixes
* add changelog entry
* Fix loading namespaced doc_fragments
The syntax for specifying a different fragment name was already
using '.' as a separator, so the code needed to be tweaked to
avoid choking on names like `testns.testcoll.fragname` and
`testns.testcoll.fragname.altvar`.
`get_plugin_class()` returns 'docfragment' for the fragment loader;
mangling `subdir` provides consistent alignment with the normal plugin
directory names and avoids needing special handling of plugin types
with 'module' in the name.
* Add changelog entry
* module_utils fixes in collections
* fixed Windows module_utils in collections
* fixed more Python module_utils cases (from X import module)
* "medium style" Ansiballz modules now work properly with collections (ie, non-replacer but also not using basic.py)
* added more tests
* split Windows/POSIX exec
* sanity
* basic plugin loading working (with many hacks)
* task collections working
* play/block-level collection module/action working
* implement PEP302 loader
* implicit package support (no need for __init.py__ in collections)
* provides future options for secure loading of content that shouldn't execute inside controller (eg, actively ignore __init__.py on content/module paths)
* provide hook for synthetic collection setup (eg ansible.core pseudo-collection for specifying built-in plugins without legacy path, etc)
* synthetic package support
* ansible.core.plugins mapping works, others don't
* synthetic collections working for modules/actions
* fix direct-load legacy
* change base package name to ansible_collections
* note
* collection role loading
* expand paths from installed content root vars
* feature complete?
* rename ansible.core to ansible.builtin
* and various sanity fixes
* sanity tweaks
* unittest fixes
* less grabby error handler on has_plugin
* probably need to replace with a or harden callers
* fix win_ping test
* disable module test with explicit file extension; might be able to support in some scenarios, but can't see any other tests that verify that behavior...
* fix unicode conversion issues on py2
* attempt to keep things working-ish on py2.6
* python2.6 test fun round 2
* rename dirs/configs to "collections"
* add wrapper dir for content-adjacent
* fix pythoncheck to use localhost
* unicode tweaks, native/bytes string prefixing
* rename COLLECTION_PATHS to COLLECTIONS_PATHS
* switch to pathspec
* path handling cleanup
* change expensive `all` back to or chain
* unused import cleanup
* quotes tweak
* use wrapped iter/len in Jinja proxy
* var name expansion
* comment seemingly overcomplicated playbook_paths resolution
* drop unnecessary conditional nesting
* eliminate extraneous local
* zap superfluous validation function
* use slice for rolespec NS assembly
* misc naming/unicode fixes
* collection callback loader asks if valid FQ name instead of just '.'
* switch collection role resolution behavior to be internally `text` as much as possible
* misc fixmes
* to_native in exception constructor
* (slightly) detangle tuple accumulation mess in module_utils __init__ walker
* more misc fixmes
* tighten up action dispatch, add unqualified action test
* rename Collection mixin to CollectionSearch
* (attempt to) avoid potential confusion/conflict with builtin collections, etc
* stale fixmes
* tighten up pluginloader collections determination
* sanity test fixes
* ditch regex escape
* clarify comment
* update default collections paths config entry
* use PATH format instead of list
* skip integration tests on Python 2.6
