Sam Doran 5a6bdef76b Only change expiration date if it is different (#38885)
* Only change expiration date if it is different

Modify user_info() method to also return the password expiration.
Compare current and desired expiration times and only change if they are different.

* Improve formatting on user tests

* Add integration test for expiration

* Add changelog fragment

* Improve integration test

Skip macOS and use getent module for validating expiration date.

* Fix expiration change for FreeBSD

* Don't use datetime since the total_seconds method isn't available on CentOS 6

* Use better name for expiration index field

Use separate tasks for verifying expiration date on BSD

* Use calendar.timegm() rather than time.mktime()

calendar.timegm() is the inverse of time.gmtime() and returns a timestamp in UTC not localtime
Add tests that change the system timezone away from UTC

* Mark tests as destructive and use test for change status

* Fix account expiration for FreeBSD

Use DATE_FORMAT when setting expiration date on FreeBSD. Previously the argument passed to -e was an integer of days since epoch when the account will expire which was inserted directly into master.passwd. This value is interpreted as seconds since epoch by the system, meaning the account expiration was actually set to a few hours past epoch.

Greatly simply comparing desired  and current expiration time by using the first three values of the struct_time tuple rather than doing a whole bunch of manipulations of the seconds since epoch.

Ansible
*******

Ansible is a radically simple IT automation system. It handles
configuration-management, application deployment, cloud provisioning,
ad-hoc task-execution, and multinode orchestration -- including
trivializing things like zero-downtime rolling updates with load
balancers.

Read the documentation and more at https://ansible.com/

You can find installation instructions
`here <https://docs.ansible.com/intro_getting_started.html>`_ for a
variety of platforms.

Most users should probably install a released version of Ansible from ``pip``, a package manager or
our `release repository <https://releases.ansible.com/ansible/>`_. `Officially supported
<https://www.ansible.com/ansible-engine>`_ builds of Ansible are also available. Some power users
run directly from the development branch - while significant efforts are made to ensure that
``devel`` is reasonably stable, you're more likely to encounter breaking changes when running
Ansible this way.

Design Principles
=================

*  Have a dead simple setup process and a minimal learning curve
*  Manage machines very quickly and in parallel
*  Avoid custom-agents and additional open ports, be agentless by
   leveraging the existing SSH daemon
*  Describe infrastructure in a language that is both machine and human
   friendly
*  Focus on security and easy auditability/review/rewriting of content
*  Manage new remote machines instantly, without bootstrapping any
   software
*  Allow module development in any dynamic language, not just Python
*  Be usable as non-root
*  Be the easiest IT automation system to use, ever.

Get Involved
============

*  Read `Community
   Information <https://docs.ansible.com/community.html>`_ for all
   kinds of ways to contribute to and interact with the project,
   including mailing list information and how to submit bug reports and
   code to Ansible.
*  All code submissions are done through pull requests. Take care to
   make sure no merge commits are in the submission, and use
   ``git rebase`` vs ``git merge`` for this reason. If submitting a
   large code change (other than modules), it's probably a good idea to
   join ansible-devel and talk about what you would like to do or add
   first to avoid duplicate efforts. This not only helps everyone
   know what's going on, it also helps save time and effort if we decide
   some changes are needed.
*  Users list:
   `ansible-project <https://groups.google.com/group/ansible-project>`_
*  Development list:
   `ansible-devel <https://groups.google.com/group/ansible-devel>`_
*  Announcement list:
   `ansible-announce <https://groups.google.com/group/ansible-announce>`_
   -- read only
*  irc.freenode.net: #ansible

Branch Info
===========

*  Releases are named after Led Zeppelin songs. (Releases prior to 2.0
   were named after Van Halen songs.)
*  The devel branch corresponds to the release actively under
   development.
*  Various release-X.Y branches exist for previous releases.
*  We'd love to have your contributions, read `Community
   Information <https://docs.ansible.com/community.html>`_ for notes on
   how to get started.
