Minor Changes

Deprecated Features
-------------------
- win_disk_image - the return value `` mount_path `` is deprecated and will be removed in 2.11, this can be accessed through `` mount_paths[0] `` instead.
Bugfixes
--------
- delegate_to - ensure if we get a non-Task object in _get_delegated_vars, we return early (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/pull/44934)
- get_url / uri - Use custom rfc2822 date format function instead of locale specific strftime (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/44857)
- improved block docs
- include - Change order of where the new block is inserted with apply so that apply args are not applied to the include also (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/pull/44912)
- includes - ensure we do not double register handlers from includes to prevent exception (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/44848)
- loop - Ensure we only cache the loop when the task had a loop and delegate_to was templated (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/44874)
- win_psexec - changed code to not escape the command option when building the args - https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/43839
