Toshio Kuratomi 99cac0b135 Fix expr regex for MacOSX compat
MacOSX seems to want bare `+` whereas GNU expr wants escaped `+` (`\+`)
to mean match one or more.  Use `\{1,\}` instead which will match one or
more on both MaxOSX and GNU-using systems.

Fixes #71053

Move 2.10.0rc1 release date a few days forward. (#71270)
At yesterday's meeting it was decided to have ansible-2.10.0 depend on
ansible-base-2.10.1 so that we can get several fixes for ansible-base's
routing (including adding the gluster.gluster collection).
ansible-base-2.10.1 will release on September 8th.  So we will plan on
releasing ansible-2.10.0rc1 on the 10th.

virt facts: allow guest/host to have >1 virt tech (#70832)
Change:
- Allow systems to declare multiple virt techs. For example if a system
  is both a docker container, but virtualized on KVM, show both. If a
  system is set up to run virtualbox and KVM VMs, show both.

- This is done by introducing new facts keys:
  - virtualization_tech_guest
  - virtualization_tech_host

- Backwards compatibility is preserved by keeping track of the previous
  return-points and refusing to update those keys after we would have
  returned, but now returning them at the end, so that the new keys can
  accumulate their data.

Test Plan:
- Local
- CI

Tickets:
- Refs #66304
- Refs #17151
- Refs #17058
- Probably others

Change default file permissions so they are not world readable (#70221)
* Change default file permissions so they are not world readable

CVE-2020-1736

Set the default permissions for files we create with atomic_move() to 0o0660. Track
which files we create that did not exist and warn if the module supports 'mode'
and it was not specified and the module did not call set_mode_if_different(). This allows the user to take action and specify a mode rather than using the defaults.

A code audit is needed to find all instances of modules that call atomic_move()
but do not call set_mode_if_different(). The findings need to be documented in
a changelog since we are not warning. Warning in those instances would be frustrating
to the user since they have no way to change the module code.

- use a set for storing list of created files
- just check the argument spac and params rather than using another property
- improve the warning message to include the default permissions

Collections docs generation (#59761)
* Build documentation for Ansible-2.10 (formerly known as ACD).

Builds plugin docs from collections whose source is on galaxy

The new command downloads collections from galaxy, then finds the
plugins inside of them to get the documentation for those plugins.

* Update the python syntax checks
  * docs builds can now require python 3.6+.

* Move plugin formatter code out to an external tool, antsibull-docs.
  Collection owners want to be able to extract docs for their own
  websites as well.
* The jinja2 filters, tests, and other support code have moved to antsibull
* Remove document_plugins as that has now been integrated into antsibull-docs

* Cleanup and bugfix to other build script code:
  * The Commands class needed to have its metaclass set for abstractmethod
    to work correctly
  * Fix lint issues in some command plugins

* Add the docs/docsite/rst/collections to .gitignore as
  everything in that directory will be generated so we don't want any of
  it saved in the git repository
* gitignore the build dir and remove edit docs link on module pages

* Add docs/rst/collections as a directory to remove on make clean
* Split the collections docs from the main docs

* remove version and edit on github
* remove version banner for just collections
* clarify examples need collection keyword defined

* Remove references to plugin documentation locations that no longer exist.
  * Perhaps the pages in plugins/*.rst should be deprecated
    altogether and their content moved?
  * If not, perhaps we want to rephrase and link into the collection
    documentation?
  * Or perhaps we want to link to the plugins which are present in
    collections/ansible/builtin?

* Remove PYTHONPATH from the build-ansible calls
  One of the design goals of the build-ansible.py script was for it to
  automatically set its library path to include the checkout of ansible
  and the library of code to implement itself.  Because it automatically
  includes the checkout of ansible, we don't need to set PYTHONPATH in
  the Makefile any longer.

* Create a command to only build ansible-base plugin docs
  * When building docs for devel, only build the ansible-base docs for
    now.  This is because antsibull needs support for building a "devel
    tree" of docs.  This can be changed once that is implemented
  * When building docs for the sanity tests, only build the ansible-base
    plugin docs for now.  Those are the docs which are in this repo so
    that seems appropriate for now.

Make netbsd virtualization facts more specific (#70467)
Change:
Our handling of NetBSD virtualization facts led to facts that were just
plain incorrect. One example is reporting Xen even when the system is
running on something completely different (like KVM).

As stated by the reporter of #69352, NetBSD has a better sysctl setting
to use for this information, machdep.hypervisor.

This PR does the following:

- Try to use machdep.hypervisor sysctl value if the other sysctl values
  we check don't end up with enough information to be useful
- Only look for /dev/xencons and assume Xen if nothing else works
  (Really this should probably return 'unknown' since the file exists on
  non-Xen systems and is not very useful).
- Add a few more patterns (Xen matches and also Hyper-V) to
  VirtualSysctlDetectionMixin#detect_virt_product.

This change is slightly breaking:
- If the first two attempts at using sysctl worked before,
  (machdep.dmi.system-product and machdep.dmi.system-vendor), they will
  continue to work.
- For cases when those values didn't work, previously the existence of
  /dev/xencons was checked, and if found, we reported 'xen' (even on
  non-Xen systems when the file existed). After this PR, we try the
  machdep.hypervisor sysctl key before still falling back to
  /dev/xencons. This means that in some cases, we might go from
  (wrongly) saying "xen" to giving a more accurate value such as "kvm"
  or "Hyper-V".

Test Plan:
- Tested with local NetBSD VM and got 'kvm' instead of 'xen' back.

Tickets:
- Fixes #69352

latter.

Sviatoslav Sydorenko 8d97c8c222 Fix the internal Python API usage examples
Previous version initialized the `TaskQueueManager` after calling
`Play.load()` while advertising a way to inject a custom library
location path. This caused the tasks loader not to find any custom
modules because it was triggered before the path was actually added
to the module loader.

This patch changes the order of the operations to ensure that the
customized `context.CLIARGS` actually influences things.

Resolves https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/69758.
