Dag Wieers e63d949951 Add a blank line, and use the Copyright format as used during rewrite
So there is a discrepancy between the dev guide and what has been changed on disk by toshio.
Not a big deal, but needlessly confusing.

Dag Wieers 31e7d735a3 win_environment: Make this the Windows reference module
As discussed before we selected win_environment to the documentation,
and point to win_uri for a more advanced module.

If we want to make this the reference module, we have to get this one
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.

Adrian Likins da15cf1f54 Generate plugin rst (#28901)
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
( docs/docsite/rst/plugins/connection/ssh.py for ex)

* 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
* add a prefix to _random_choice
  It was colliding with the target for random_choice plugin

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.

Toshio Kuratomi ff13d58c14 Remove use of unicode_literals as it is an anti-pattern
from __future__ unicode_literals leads to developer confusion as
developers no longer can tell whether a bare literal string is a byte
string or a unicode string.  Explicit marking as u"" or b"" is the way
to solve the same problem in the Ansbile codebase.

* update main Makefile to use generate_man.py for docs (man pages and rst)
* update vault docs that use :option:
* Edits based on
6e34ea6242 and
a3afc78535

* add a optparse 'desc' to lib/ansible/cli/config.py 

  The man page needs a short desc for the 'NAME' field
  which it gets from the option parse 'desc' value.

  Fixes building ansible-config man page.

* add trim_docstring from pep257 to generate_man

  use pep258 docstring trim function to fix up any indention
  weirdness inherit to doc strings (ie, lines other than
  first line being indented.

* Add refs to cli command actions

To reference ansible-vaults --vault-id option, use:

:option:`The link text here <ansible-vault --vault-id>`

or:

:option:`--vault-id <ansible-vault --vault-id>`

To reference ansible-vault's 'encrypt' action, use:

:ref:`The link text here <ansible_vault_encrypt>`

or most of the time:

:ref:`ansible-vault encrypt <ansible_vault_encrypt>`
