* Tell people to look for an existing module PR
There are a number of different ways to find existing PRs that add new
modules. Tell people about them to potentially avoid duplicates.
* Light edits
The note only had one colon instead of two, which allowed it to pass rstcheck but failed to actually generate the note in the HTML.
Also remove an unnecessary trailing colon.

Initial commit to split includes into static imports/dynamic includes
This implements the new include/import syntax for Ansible 2.4:
* include_{tasks,role,variables} = dynamic
* import_{playbook,tasks,role} = static
The old bare `include` will be considered deprecated, as will any use of the `static: {yes|no}` option.
This also adds docs for import/include and reorganizing the "Playbook Reuse" section of the documentation.
* aws integration tests - provide an IAM policy that can be used for running them
* move documentation of aws policies into main integration testing documentation + some updates there
* Update testing_integration.rst

Useful when the RETURN structure is complex.
* Fixed schema after CI traceback fail
* Fixed list_string_types
* Fixed line in 319 code for RETURN
* Big testing doc refactor
* Combine all the testing documentation in to one place to make it easier to find
* Convert everything to RST
* Create testing_network guide
* Create testing landing page
* For each section detail "how to run" and "how to extend testing"
* More examples
* Lots more detail
This setting allows us to reference jinja2 and python stdlib docs
via docutils refs instead of hardcoding urls.
Fixes#18039
Remove extraneous sphinx config
The Python3 dev doc is more general than just modules
* Rename it to make that obvious.
* Move generally applicable Python3 information to the Controller section
* Add a Py3/Py2 section on formatting strings
* Fix code-blocks to highlight as python
* Enhance python3 support page
* Add Python3/Python2 compat note
* 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.

Raise the bar for module `DOCUMENTAION`
This validator update was used to find the issues in https://github.com/ansible/ansible/pull/22297/files
**Validation**
* Updated Validation and docs to enforce more (items fixed in https://github.com/ansible/ansible/pull/22297/files)
* Use `suboptions` to document complex options
* Validate module name
* Validate deprecated modules have correct ANSIBLE_METADATA
**Module Documentation Generation**
* Document `suboptions:` Example https://gist.github.com/gundalow/4bdc3669d696268328ccc18528cc6718
* Tidy up HTML generation (valid HTML, no empty lists, etc)
**Documentation**
* Clarify the steps for deprecating a module
* Use correct RST headings
* Document `suboptions:` (options)
* Document `contains:` (returns)
**Details**
The aim is to get this (and corresponding module updates) complete by the time `devel` becomes `2.4`, as this allows us to raise the bar for new modules
Example `suboptions` https://gist.github.com/gundalow/4bdc3669d696268328ccc18528cc6718
The aim is to get this PR integrated into `devel` *before* we branch `stable-2.3`, this will allows us to:
* Raise the bar for new modules in 2.4
* Ensure the generated module documentation for 2.3 and higher is improved, important as we will be doing versioned docs moving forward.
