* Use common file arguments on destination file
* Rename 'compression' to 'format' h/t @abadger
* Add support for plain 'tar' format
* Ensure check_mode is respected
* rename archive -> arcfile (where it's a file descriptor)
* additional return
* simplify logic around 'archive?' flag
* maintain os separator after arcroot
* use function instead of lambda for filter, ensure file exists before file.cmp'ing it
* track errored files and fail if there are any
* Don't include the archive in the archive if it falls within an archived path
* If remove=True and the archive would be in an archived path, fail.
* Fix single-file zip file compression

This manages compressed files or archives of many compressed files. You can maintain or update .gz, .bz2 compressed files, .zip archives, or tarballs compressed with gzip or bzip2.
Possible use cases:
* Back up user home directories
* Ensure large text files are always compressed
* Archive trees for distribution
The patch module has a few missing items, and inconsistencies, in its
documentation. A few of which are addressed here.
Within Ansible documentation, the choices for boolean values are
commonly 'yes', and 'no'. We standardise the options on that.
'remote_src' documentation uses 'False' and 'True' for its documentation,
so these have been updated in both the choices and default.
'src' documentation refers to 'remote_src', so is updated to use
the 'no' choice.
'backup' did not describe its options and default at all, so we add
them.
'binary' default used 'False', but specified the type as 'bool' which is
implicitly documented as 'yes'/'no', so we make that 'no' as well.
