Module deprecation: docs, scheme and tests (#34100)
Enforce module deprecation.
After module has reached the end of it's deprecation cycle we will replace it with a docs stub.

* Replace deprecated modules with docs-only sub
* Use of deprecated past deprecation cycle gives meaningful message (see examples below)
* Enforce documentation.deprecation dict via `schema.py`
* Update `ansible-doc` and web docs to display documentation.deprecation
* Document that structure in `dev_guide`
* Ensure that all modules starting with `_` have a `deprecation:` block
* Ensure `deprecation:` block is only used on modules that start with `_`
* `removed_in` A string which represents when this module needs **deleting**
* CHANGELOG.md and porting_guide_2.5.rst list removed modules as well as alternatives
* CHANGELOG.md links to porting guide index

To ensure that meaningful messages are given to the user if they try to use a module at the end of it's deprecation cycle we enforce the module to contain:
```python
if __name__ == '__main__':
    removed_module()
```

Brian Coca bbd6b8bb42 Temporary (#31677)
* allow shells to have per host options, remote_tmp

added language to shell
removed module lang setting from general as  plugins have it now
use get to avoid bad powershell plugin
more resilient tmp discovery, fall back to `pwd`
add shell to docs
fixed options for when frags are only options
added shell set ops in t_e and fixed option frags
normalize tmp dir usag4e

- pass tmpdir/tmp/temp options as env var to commands, making it default for tempfile
- adjusted ansiballz tmpdir
- default local tempfile usage to the configured local tmp
- set env temp in action

add options to powershell
shift temporary to internal envvar/params
ensure tempdir is set if we pass var
ensure basic and url use expected tempdir
ensure localhost uses local tmp
give /var/tmp priority, less perms issues
more consistent tempfile mgmt for ansiballz
made async_dir configurable
better action handling, allow for finally rm tmp
fixed tmp issue and no more tempdir in ballz
hostvarize world readable and admin users
always set shell tempdir
added comment to discourage use of exception/flow control

* Mostly revert expand_user as it's not quite working.

This was an additional feature anyhow.

Kept the use of pwd as a fallback but moved it to a second ssh
connection.  This is not optimal but getting that to work in a single
ssh connection was part of the problem holding this up.

(cherry picked from commit 395b714120522f15e4c90a346f5e8e8d79213aca)

* fixed script and other action plugins

ensure tmpdir deletion
allow for connections that don't support new options (legacy, 3rd party)
fixed tests

Replace some :ref: to section names with explicit targets

* The 'YAML+Jinja' syntax lex fails here, so just use yaml

Since the yaml+jinja highlight fails, code wasnt highlighted
at all, but 'yaml' works more or less.

* just use no lexer for the < python2.6 examples

py3 will fail highlighting them, and 'python2' throws
a lexer warning, and nothing actually highlights it, so
just disable.

- Updated docuemtnation Makefile to allow specifying list of modules via

- Update instructions for building documentation and module development to
  include commands and description of limiting module documentation builds.

* Updated implementation for limiting module documentation building:

- Pass list of modules (or None) to list_modules function instead of string.
- Move conversion of module list to argument parsing code.
- No special keywords. Default ("") means build all modules. For no modules just
  specify non-existing module name.
- Updated documentation to reflect the changes.

- Use better default value, and don't treat "" as special case.
- Conditionally invoke different variants of command in Makefile instead of
  using special value "".

Toshio Kuratomi 3a2670e0fd Allow specific __future__ imports in modules
We do want to allow certain from __future__ imports in modules that make
it easier to code compatible python2 and python3.  Note that
unicode_literals is specifically left out and should never be allowed.
Now that python-3.4+ allows u"" there's no good reason to use
unicode_literals.

Also switch tables in the validate_modules documentation to simple table format

David Moreau-Simard e2d874c744 Improve release and development cycle documentation
This commit:
- Adds a table highlighting the status of each version and provides
  a link to each major release's changelog
- Re-inforces how stable versions are maintained and for how long
- Moves this documentation out of the developer tree (this is
  interesting for users too!) while keeping a link there.

James Cammarata 483df9c5f8 Imports and includes (#25399)
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.

John R Barker 04e816e13b Stricter module documentation validation (#22353)
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.
