* remove azure extras and extras_require support
* Since Azure will be collectionized, the requirements will float more frequently than Ansible releases; the Azure collection needs to host the requirements now.
* Removed the dynamic extras support as well, since Azure was the only thing using it. If we need it again, it's easy to pull back from history.
* Mark azure-requirements as orhpaned.
This keeps the docs around so that existing links from old test runs remain valid.

* required_if checks should have three or four parts.
* Validate mutually_exclusive, required_together, required_one_of, required_if and required_by.
* Simplify code.
* Improve messages.
* Add changelog.
* Sanity check.
* Update docs.
* Update ignore.txt.
* Don't continue with tests when terms are not strings.
* Remove ignore.txt entry.
* Make sure validate-modules doesn't choke on things already flagged by schema test.
* Check required_if requirements list for strings.
* 'message' parameter is replaced by 'commit_message' in grafana_dashboard
* 'message' parameter is replaced by 'notification_message' in datadog_monitor
This change is required since 'message' as parameter name is used internally by
Ansible core engine.

This change introduces a new sanity check with code
`parameter-state-invalid-choice` in the `ansible-test sanity`
validator. It enforces modules not to support `list` or `info`
as their `state`.

We have called an API token many things. I changed the command line argument to
"--token", so now I'm unifying the documentation. I looked at both Galaxy and
Automation Hub and Galaxy is the only place that still uses the term "API Key",
which it could be argued should change.
As AnsibleModule._log_invocation is currently implemented, any parameter
with a name that matches PASSWORD_MATCH triggers the no_log warning as a
precaution against parameters that may contain sensitive data, but have not
been marked as sensitive by the module author.
This patch would allow module authors to explicitly mark the aforementioned
parameters as not sensitive thereby bypassing an erroneous warning message,
while still catching parameters which have not been marked at all by the
author.
Adds tests for various no_log states including True, False, and None (as
extracted by AnsibleModule._log_invocation) when applied to an argument with
a name that matches PASSWORD_MATCH.
Fixes: #49465#64656
Use the --venv option instead.
This option was only available when running from source to test the ansible/ansible repository.
This will have no effect on testing collections or running from an installed version of Ansible.
Also update docs to reference the --venv option instead of the --tox option.

* Fix validate-modules support for collections.
- Relative imports now work correctly.
- The collection loader is now used.
- Modules are invoked as `__main__`.
* Remove obsolete validate-modules code ignores.
* Handle sys.exit in validate-modules.
* Add check for AnsibleModule initialization.
* Remove `missing-module-utils-import` check.
This check does not support relative imports or collections.
Instead of trying to overhaul the test, we can rely on the `ansible-module-not-initialized` test instead.
* Fix badly named error codes with `c#` in the name.
The `#` conflicts with comments in the sanity test ignore files.
* Add changelog entries.
Add a list of previously used release names to make it easy to tell what
release names are no longer usable.
Add a test that new release names have been added to the used list.

- Use predictable VM name during the tests (test_vm1, test_vm2 and
test_vm2). This to simplify the teardown of the newly created resource
before the next test.
- Update the documentation to explain the new requirement
- Avoid VM creation with `with_items` when it's not mandatory. This to:
- speed up the test execution, our hypervisors have limited resources
- simplify the teardown
- Remove `create_d1_c1_f0_env.yml`, the test was just testing how Ansible
pass environment variables.
- Correct the name for the `f0` variable (`f1`)
- Fix the DVS tests, the hosts can now reach the dvswitch1 vswitch
- Provision the VM with a poweroff status, this to improve the
idempotency and sleep up the tests
- Avoid the use of `prepare_vmware_tests` to prepare virtual machines
when we just need one machine

test-module

The metaclass boilerplate is safe to apply en masse. The future import
boilerplate needs code to be inspected to be sure that there aren't any
py2isms that need to be fixed. Split these two checks so that we can
fix them independently

Auto-update the backing cache-plugin if the cache has changed after parsing the inventory plugin
* Update CacheModules to use the config system and add a deprecation warning if they are being imported directly rather than using cache_loader
* Fix foreman inventory caching
* Add tests
* Add integration test to check that fact caching works normally with cache plugins using ansible.constants and inventory caching provides a helpful error for non-compatible cache plugins
* Add some developer documentation for inventory and cache plugins
* Add user documentation for inventory caching
* Add deprecation docs
* Apply suggestions from docs review
* Add changelog
* Add a new check to ensure that module arguments are valid python identifiers

* Skip validate-modules on py2
* Remove errant alias
Based on https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/reference_appendices/config.html
the default callback paths do not contain `_plugin`. Thus `~/.ansible/plugins/callback_plugins` and `/usr/share/ansible/plugins/plugin_type/action_plugins` are incorrect. Verified on 2.7.5 that by default `plugins/action` works and `plugins/action_plugins` does not.
* update the developing_inventory docs to show ungrouped as a dict with a "children" key; avoid

Add a section to the documentation describing precisely how Ansible
merges custom module_utils/* Python code into the "ansible.module_utils"
namespace.
* Docs: Add a separate "seealso" section to the module docs
to list related modules and/or related references. This clears up the notes
section for things that are actual notes.
So you can add a section in your module documentation and four types of
references are possible.
seealso:
# Reference by module name
- module: aci_tenant
# Reference by module name, including description
- module: aci_tenant
description: ACI module to create tenants on a Cisco ACI fabric.
# Reference by rST documentation anchor
- ref: aci_guide
description: Detailed information on how to manage your ACI infrastructure using Ansible.
# Reference by Internet resource
- name: APIC Management Information Model reference
description: Complete reference of the APIC object model.

This PR also includes:
- Implements ansible-doc support
- Implements schema support for the seealso options
- Updates to the development documentation
- Rename filter convert_symbols_to_format to rst_ify, cfr the existing html_ify and tty_ify filters
- This makes the existing template a lot easier to read and fixes the confusion I had myself rereading the template (again).
- We fixed the possible suboption types (which was limited to 'bool' only)
* Use latest stable instead of devel docs
* Added recommendation about module name
Added general guidelines for naming a module.
