Dag Wieers 31e7d735a3 win_environment: Make this the Windows reference module
As discussed before we selected win_environment to the documentation,
and point to win_uri for a more advanced module.

If we want to make this the reference module, we have to get this one
absolutely right in every possible way.

This PR cleans up both win_environment and win_uri, and makes the
required changes to the windows module development section.

- Supports Digest, Basic and WSSE HTTP authentication mechanisms.
- For non-Windows targets, use the M(uri) module instead.
options:
url:
description:

- Also supports file:/// URLs through Invoke-WebRequest.
required: yes
method:
description:
- The HTTP Method of the request or response.
choices: [ CONNECT, DELETE, GET, HEAD, OPTIONS, PATCH, POST, PUT, REFRESH, TRACE ]
default: GET
content_type:
description:
- Sets the "Content-Type" header.
body:

version_added: '2.3'
headers:
description:
- 'Key Value pairs for headers. Example "Host: www.somesite.com"'
use_basic_parsing:
description:
- This module relies upon 'Invoke-WebRequest', which by default uses the Internet Explorer Engine to parse a webpage.
- There's an edge-case where if a user hasn't run IE before, this will fail.
- The only advantage to using the Internet Explorer praser is that you can traverse the DOM in a powershell script.
- That isn't useful for Ansible, so by default we toggle 'UseBasicParsing'. However, you can toggle that off here.
type: bool
default: 'yes'
creates:
description:
- A filename, when it already exists, this step will be skipped.
version_added: '2.4'

description:
- A filename, when it does not exist, this step will be skipped.
version_added: '2.4'
return_content:
description:
- Whether or not to return the body of the response as a "content" key in
the dictionary result. If the reported Content-type is
"application/json", then the JSON is additionally loaded into a key
called C(json) in the dictionary results.
type: bool
default: 'no'
version_added: '2.4'
status_code:
description:
- A valid, numeric, HTTP status code that signifies success of the request.
- Can also be comma separated list of status codes.
default: 200
version_added: '2.4'
timeout:
description:
- Specifies how long the request can be pending before it times out (in seconds).
- The value 0 (zero) specifies an indefinite time-out.
- A Domain Name System (DNS) query can take up to 15 seconds to return or time out.
If your request contains a host name that requires resolution, and you set
C(timeout) to a value greater than zero, but less than 15 seconds, it can
take 15 seconds or more before your request times out.
default: 30
version_added: '2.4'
follow_redirects:
description:
- Whether or not the C(win_uri) module should follow redirects.
- C(all) will follow all redirects.
- C(none) will not follow any redirects.
- C(safe) will follow only "safe" redirects, where "safe" means that the client is only
doing a C(GET) or C(HEAD) on the URI to which it is being redirected.
choices: [ all, none, safe ]
default: safe
version_added: '2.4'
maximum_redirection:
description:
- Specifies how many times C(win_uri) redirects a connection to an alternate
Uniform Resource Identifier (URI) before the connection fails.
- If C(maximum_redirection) is set to 0 (zero)
or C(follow_redirects) is set to C(none),
or set to C(safe) when not doing C(GET) or C(HEAD) it prevents all redirection.
default: 5

client_cert:
description:
