Brian Coca d84df2405d move from with_<lookup>: to loop:
- old functionality is still available direct lookup use, the following are equivalent

  with_nested: [[1,2,3], ['a','b','c']]

  loop: "{{lookup('nested', [1,2,3], ['a','b','c'])}}"

- avoid squashing with 'loop:'
- fixed test to use new intenal attributes
- removed most of 'lookup docs' as these now reside in the plugins

sduthil 15dffe04dd fix misformatted docsite link (#31384)
reason: The link is showing verbatim in the docs, where it should only
show "knowledge base article".

Also, generating the docs shows a lot of:

docs/docsite/rst/win_acl_module.rst:424: WARNING: Unknown target name: "know ledge base article<https://access.redhat.com/articles/rhel-top-support-policies>".

John R Barker b79d15e67f Improve and link Network Proxy docs (#31316)
* Improve and link Network Proxy docs

It is possible for proxy issues to cause "unable to open shell", so
detail there.

Having the "how-to" in the debug page makes more sense than on the
porting page, so move it.

Fixed a few formatting issues at the same time.

Andreas Olsson ba0b91b51b Remove git:// urls from docsite and from packaging (#30459)
It's almost always preferable to clone by way of https:// rather than
using the bare git:// protocol. Not only does https:// provide
stronger guarantees it also plays nicer with corporate proxies, etc.

absolutely right in every possible way.

This PR cleans up both win_environment and win_uri, and makes the
required changes to the windows module development section.

Austin S. Hemmelgarn d5ae9d1018 Fix build on Python 3.x by using sys.maxsize. (#30424)
As outlined in https://docs.python.org/3.1/whatsnew/3.0.html#integers,
sys.maxint doesn't exist anymore in Python 3.x because there is no maximum
value for integers in Python 3.x.  sys.maxsize is present in all
versions of Python that are currently supported by Ansible, so use that
instead as an arbitrarily large index value.

Fixes the following build error when building with Python 3.x:
make -j1 docs
mkdir -p ./docs/man/man1/ ; \
PYTHONPATH=./lib docs/bin/generate_man.py --template-file=docs/templates/man.j2 --output-dir=docs/man/man1/ --output-format man lib/ansible/cli/*.py

Generate rst docs for plugins 

Based on rst generated for modules. But generated plugin
docs go into docs/docsite/rst/plugins/$PLUGIN_TYPE/plugin_name.rst

* move plugins docs to rst/*_plugins/ subdirs for namespace
* Only gen support pages for modules for now.
* Add generated plugin docs to gitignore* add list_*_plugins templates
* support MODULES/PLUGINS filters for make htmldocs

   Add a 'PLUGINS=ssh' filter env var like MODULES to filter plugins to build docs for.

* fixup 'historical' version_added, skip plugins/loader.py
* Fix plugins_by_support ref link to new plugins/*/ location
* use :ref: for common_return_values, allow empty version_added
* warnings on missing doc info

Adrian Likins 9cc63326b1 Misc docsite fixes (#30290)
* Fix refs for local_facts and various cli :option:
* Fix dev_guide/testing_pep8 refs
* remove ref to non-existing 'developing_test_pr'
* Fix ref to ansible-vault encrypt_string
* Removed hard-to-localize colloquialism.
* Rename '_ansible-pull' in playbooks_intro.

It was conflicting with rst/ansible-pull.rst. Nothing
seems to reference it.

* Add explicit targets for and update refs

Replace some ':doc:' use with ':ref:'.

Replace some :ref: to section names with explicit targets
(:doc:`Dynamic vs. Static` -> :ref:`dynamic_vs_static` etc)

* 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.

Ganesh Nalawade 530988666a Allow delegate_to if transport is not cli (#29945)
Fixes #29060

Allow delegate_to if transport is either nxapi or eapi.

Persistent connection uses `cli` transport and create
a local socket on control node. Hence delegate_to is not allowed
for `cli` transport.

However as `nxapi` and `eapi` transport does not use persistent connection
it is possible to use delegate_to in this case.
