This commit adds the overlayfs type to the lxc_container module. In
Adding the overlayfs type the commit adds the ability to clone a
container. While cloning is not locked down to only the overlayfs
container backend it is of particular interest when using the overlayfs
backend as it provides for amazingly fast snapshots.
Changes to the resource types and documentation have been added on how
the new backend type can be used along with the clone operation.
This PR addresses a question asked on the original merged pull request
for overlayfs support which came from @fghaas on PR
"https://github.com/ansible/ansible-modules-extras/pull/123".
The overlayfs archive function is a first class function and will
allow for the containers to be backed-up using all methods which
brings support up to that of all other storage backends.
Occasionally, `lvcreate` will prompt on stdin for confirmation. In
particular, this may happen when the volume is being created close to
the location on disk where another volume existed previously. When this
happens, Ansible will hang indefinitely with no indication of the
problem. To work prevent this problem, the `--yes` command-line argument
can be passed to `lvcreate`, which will instruct it not to prompt.

According the patch(1) manpage:
The --directory option change to the directory dir immediately, before
doing anything else.
Thus if file is not relative to dir and making file absolute ensure that
patch will find it.
The option parsing object within the module was performing a split
on an '=' sign and assuming that there would only ever be one '='
in a user provided option. Sadly, the assumption is incorrect and
the list comprehension that is building the options list needs to
be set to split on the first occurrence of an '=' sign in a given
option string. This commit adds the required change to make it
possible for options to contain additional '=' signs and be handled
correctly.
- Changes are no longer erroneously reported on RHEL (#12)
- Adding new link groups on Debian works again.
- This was broken in a previous commit by assuming the OS was RHEL
if `update-alternatives --query <name>` had a return code of 2
- Prefer `--display` over `--query` for determining available
alternatives
- --display is more distro-agnostic and simplifies the code
- Fix missing `msg=` in `fail_json` call when `link` is missing
- Document that `link` is required on RHEL-based distros
Tested on Ubuntu 12.04+ and CentOS 6/7
* Add support for check mode
* Use "pkgin search" to guarantee 0 or 1 result
* Edit documentation for style, new feature, etc.
* General refactoring
* Lay some groundwork for future support of "state=latest"
These are all the code changes from Brian's review:
* change #! line
* rename "host" to "name" [keep as alias]
* make documentation clearer
* imports 1 per line
* use get_bin_path to find ssh-keygen
* key not actually required when removing host
The known_hosts module lets you add or remove a host from the
known_hosts file. This is useful if you're going to want to use the
git module over ssh, for example. If you have a very large number of
host keys to manage, you will find the template module more useful.
This was pull request 7840 from the old ansible repo, which was
accepted-in-principle but not yet merged. The mailing list thread
reading it is:

Analyze the given token and use the old webhook format if the token
is old style and use the new format if the token is new style. Make
domain optional with new-style tokens.
Fixes#157
Fix `changed` status that always returns False with composer.
This [previous PR](https://github.com/ansible/ansible-modules-extras/pull/61) had fixed the issue but because of a [Composer recent change](cb336a5416) stderr is now used for reporting information meant for humans while stdout is more for the output of the command.
This PR would definilty solve this issue.
