Required some rewiring in inventory code to make sure we're using
the DataLoader class for some data file operations, which makes mocking
them much easier.
Also identified two corner cases not currently handled by the code, related
to inventory variable sources and which one "wins". Also noticed we weren't
properly merging variables from multiple group/host_var file locations
(inventory directory vs. playbook directory locations) so fixed as well.
This was commented out earlier because of the lack of interprocess
locking and prepare_writeable_dir in v2.
The locking was not needed: it could only protect against other siblings
of this process (since they were all locking a temporary file that was
opened in the parent), and those would be running as the same user and
with the same umask. Also, os.makedirs() tolerates intermediate paths
being created by other processes. For any other kind of error, both
locking and non-locking code paths would fail in the same way.
So all we really need to do is make sure we have write permissions.
(We also move the cp_dir handling code to where we actually set the
ControlPath ourselves; if the user has set it via ssh_*args already,
we don't need to bother.)

Don't disable GSSAPI/Pubkey authentication when using --ask-pass
This commit is based on a bug report and PR by kolbyjack (#6846) which
was subsequently closed and rebased as #11690. The original problem was:
«The password on the delegated host is different from the one I
provided on the command line, so it had to use the pubkey, and the
main host doesn't have a pubkey on it yet, so it had to use the
password.»
(This commit is revised and included here because #11690 would conflict
with the changes in #11908 otherwise.)
Closes#11690

Be more explicit about why SSH arguments are added
This adds vvvvv log messages that spell out in detail where each SSH
command-line argument is obtained from.
Unfortunately, we can't be sure if, say, self._play_context.remote_user
is obtained from ANSIBLE_REMOTE_USER in the environment, remote_user in
ansible.cfg, -u on the command line, or an ansible_ssh_user setting in
the inventory or on a task or play. In some cases, e.g. timeout, we
can't even be sure if it was set by the user or just a default.
Nevertheless, on the theory that at five v's you can use all the hints
available, I've mentioned the possible sources in the log messages.
Note that this caveat applies only to the arguments that ssh.py adds by
itself. In the case of ssh_args and ssh_extra_args, we know where they
are from, and say so, though we can't say WHERE in the inventory they
may be set (e.g. in host_vars or group_vars etc.).

Add a FAQ entry about ansible_ssh_extra_args

Allow ansible_ssh_args to be set as an inventory variable
Before this change, ssh_args could be set only in the [ssh_connection]
section of ansible.cfg, and was applied to all hosts. Now it's possible
to set ansible_ssh_args as an inventory variable (directly, or through
group_vars or host_vars) to selectively override the global setting.
Note that the default ControlPath settings are applied only if ssh_args
is not set, and this is true of ansible_ssh_args as well. So if you want
to override ssh_args but continue to set ControlPath, you'll need to
repeat the appropriate options when setting ansible_ssh_args.
(If you only need to add options to the default ssh_args, you may be
able to use the ansible_ssh_extra_args inventory variable instead.)

Allow overriding ansible_ssh_extra_args on the command-line
This patch makes it possible to do:
ansible somehost -m setup \
--ssh-extra-args '-o ProxyCommand="ssh -W %h:%p -q user@bouncer.example.com"'
This overrides the inventory setting, if any, of ansible_ssh_extra_args.
Based on a patch originally by @Richard2ndQuadrant.

Add an ansible_ssh_extra_args inventory variable
This can be used to configure a per-host or per-group ProxyCommand to
connect to hosts through a jumphost, e.g.:
inventory:
[gatewayed]
foo ansible_ssh_host=192.0.2.1
group_vars/gatewayed.yml:
ansible_ssh_extra_args: '-o ProxyCommand="ssh -W %h:%p -q bounceuser@gateway.example.com"'
Note that this variable is used in addition to any ssh_args configured
in the [ssh_connection] section of ansible.cfg (so you don't need to
repeat the ControlPath settings in ansible_ssh_extra_args).
* When iterating over a child state, a failure should be propagated
up so parent blocks don't continue iterating
* Make sure a child state exists before trying to search it
Fixes#12210
I don't think six.iteritems is available here, but I also don't expect
there to be enough platforms to ever make the speed difference between
.items() and .iteritems() noticeable.
Replace .iteritems() with six.iteritems() everywhere except in
module_utils (because there's no 'six' on the remote host). And except
in lib/ansible/galaxy/data/metadata_template.j2, because I'm not sure
six is available there.
The lock file is (a temporary file) opened in the parent process, whose
open fd is inherited by the workers after fork, and passed down through
the PlayContext. Connection grows lock/unlock methods which can be used
by individual connection plugins.
Right now, we don't do any locking, but we still scan known_hosts files
twice per connection. That's completely unnecessary, and the proposed
solutions to the locking problem wouldn't need known_hosts scanning
anyway, so this code can go away.
