Dag Wieers 1ab411229a Get rid of duplicate status statement (#42885)
If a module was in status "preview", but it was not "supported"
(core/network) the message about the module being "preview" would be
repeated.

Toshio Kuratomi ad2e8dd6d8 Changes to support building docs with old jinja2
This commit: fa5c0282a4 relied upon
features present in Jinja-2.10 and above.  The changes here allow us to
build the *rst* with older versions of jinja2.

a lot of warnings are emitted (700 lines of warnings out of 2812 are

Brian Campbell fa5c0282a4 Use colspan on td instead of divs for hierarchical tables (#39948)
Address Firefox table-rendering issues in docs. Refactor to use colspan to provide table cells which can vary in width and indentation; the outermost has the greatest colspan, and each nested key has a colspan of one less than the parent, with padding cells for indentation.
Apply styling to table cells to get the table height to work without hacks or browser-specific
styling.  Simplify the markup and CSS by removing extra divs. Use two passes over the options, return values, and return facts in the Jinja2 module-docs template: one to determine the maximum nesting depth to compute the maximum colspan needed, plus one to lay out the rows.

Update info on python support (#38855)
* Update the documentation to list Python 3 as official
* Add some reference targets for inventory variables so we can link to docs
* Add a platform FAQ section
  Populate it with

  * virtualenv info (previously on the python3 support page)

    Solaris hosts)

  Fixes #21594

* Fix some refs in the release_and_maintenance document

* Fix unindent error in module template

Fix for the module/plugin template unintentionally unindented inside of
a raw block, leading to errors like:

ERROR: docs/docsite/rst/modules/redshift_facts_module.rst:289:0: Explicit markup ends without a blank line; unexpected unindent.

* Make wording for Solaris troubleshooting better.

Toshio Kuratomi 25523666ce Modules that have a link to their own deprecated section need to use a different link syntax (#38697)
The :ref: syntax is for linking to targets which are defined for the
whole document tree.  `link`_ is for linking to targets which are inside
of the document.  We want the latter for deprecated sections because
otherwise we'd have to create namespaced link targets for them.

Also fix expansion of version a deprecated module will be removed in

Dag Wieers 6636401246 Improve default values and choices in module docs (#36901)
* Improve default values and choices in module docs

So currently we show defaults and choices in separate columns.

For each parameter we have
- Mostly empty default and choices cells
- A list of choices and a separate default value
- Only a default value

So there's a lot of space being wasted on empty cells.
We can do this better.

* Improve Parameters section

* Add Choices back into column header

* Ensure the tables spans the complete page width

Dag Wieers eb52a88fb6 Improve module docs return values (#36943)
* Improve module docs return values

Currently the 5 columns shown doesn't make optimal use of the screen
estate, especially for facts modules this is a problem.

* Add returned facts as a separate section

* Remove whitespace and add support section

Since Notes were moved higher up, the Author, Status and Maintainer
information was now placed under the Return Values section.

* Switch Last Updated and Copyright

Dag Wieers eae0aa0592 Automatically stuff reference in commit message (#36844)
* Automatically stuff reference in commit message

So we probably want to track which edits were performed through the
Github interface, and this change automatically adds a label to the
commit message.

```yaml
<!--- Your description here -->

+label: docsite_pr
```

Eventually this allows to (on regular basis) list the changes from
documentation readers and process them in a separate process.

Dag Wieers 38abda544f Improve module docs wrt. required params (#36812)
So I am still not satisfied with how required parameters are being
displayed (before it was yes/no, then it became required/optional, and
only required).

Now it will display in small green 'required' under the parameter name.
This is more convenient, and provides more room for the description.
Especially on smaller screens.

Dag Wieers 974c50a417 Move notes higher up in order (#36815)
So people reading the module documentation usually look for parameters
first, and are interested in examples. However the notes are at the very
end even below the Return Values (the least interesting part).

So this change moves the notes higher up, below parameters, but before
examples so people at least see the notes.

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()
```

Dag Wieers 1719267779 Sort arguments and return values in module docs
Comparing the old module docs, with the devel docs the
options/arguments/parameters are no longer sorted.

Also, both in the old module docs and the devel docs the result values
are not sorted where they probably should.
