Update info on python support (#38855)
* Update the documentation to list Python 3 as official
* Add some reference targets for inventory variables so we can link to docs
* Add a platform FAQ section
  Populate it with

  * virtualenv info (previously on the python3 support page)
  * BSD (Link to the working with BSD page)
  * Solaris (Document how to work around the non-POSIX shell on some
    Solaris hosts)

  Fixes #21594

* Fix some refs in the release_and_maintenance document

* Fix unindent error in module template

Fix for the module/plugin template unintentionally unindented inside of
a raw block, leading to errors like:

ERROR: docs/docsite/rst/modules/redshift_facts_module.rst:289:0: Explicit markup ends without a blank line; unexpected unindent.

* Make wording for Solaris troubleshooting better.

Toshio Kuratomi 8cdd75a09f Some more fixes for the docs :ref: disambiguation
The big one is that we needed to set plugin_type when we processed the by_support template.

Also added to list_of_CATEGORY_plugins page (which might not be used)
and corrected a place where I did module_name instead of name_module

Toshio Kuratomi f9d83944ec regex for finding :ref: labels was flawed
The regex to find labels inside of angle brackets was not detecting
anything before so I missed all of those.
* Fixed the regex in find-plugin-refs to take care of that.
* Fixed plugin_formatter to emit namespaced labels for the M() macro.

We're porting autogenerated plugin docs so that :ref: targets are
namespaced by plugin type.  To do this effectively, we need to know
where all the :ref: targets which refer to the bare plugin names are in
the rst files.  This script will find those.

Toshio Kuratomi 25523666ce Modules that have a link to their own deprecated section need to use a different link syntax (#38697)
The :ref: syntax is for linking to targets which are defined for the
whole document tree.  `link`_ is for linking to targets which are inside
of the document.  We want the latter for deprecated sections because
otherwise we'd have to create namespaced link targets for them.

Also fix expansion of version a deprecated module will be removed in

* Improve default values and choices in module docs

So currently we show defaults and choices in separate columns.

- Mostly empty default and choices cells
- A list of choices and a separate default value
- Only a default value

So there's a lot of space being wasted on empty cells.
We can do this better.

So this change moves the notes higher up, below parameters, but before
examples so people at least see the notes.

* Add examples to YAMLSyntax; fix minor issues and improve wording

I added proper titles to "Flow Collections" and "Block Scalars", because these
are official YAML Terms, so people can find better help when having issues.

I changed the "ignored newlines" to "folded newlines" because I think ignoring
gives a wrong impression, especially since empty lines (more than one newline)
are not ignored and have a special meaning.

I added an example how to enforce a newline in a folded block scalar.

I fixed the list of characters that are allowed/not allowed in plain and
double quoted scalars.

I added the #yaml channel to the IRC link.

I added links to the YAML Specs. For completeness, I also included YAML 1.2,
although PyYAML and libyaml currently implement 1.1.

VMware: Deprecate vsphere_guest module (#35648)
This change deprecates vsphere_guest in favor of vmware_guest and other
related modules.

The major reasons behind deprecation are -

- Pysphere - Unofficial Python bindings of vCenter deprecated in the year 2013.
- VMware provides official Python bindings for vCenter, which is used in vmware_guest.
- vcsim - simulator used in integration testing of vmware module does not support PySphere
  APIs, which makes it more difficult to test vsphere_guest.

Module deprecation: docs, scheme and tests (#34100)
Enforce module deprecation.
After module has reached the end of it's deprecation cycle we will replace it with a docs stub.

* Replace deprecated modules with docs-only sub
* Use of deprecated past deprecation cycle gives meaningful message (see examples below)
* Enforce documentation.deprecation dict via `schema.py`
* Update `ansible-doc` and web docs to display documentation.deprecation
* Document that structure in `dev_guide`
* Ensure that all modules starting with `_` have a `deprecation:` block
* Ensure `deprecation:` block is only used on modules that start with `_`
* `removed_in` A string which represents when this module needs **deleting**
* CHANGELOG.md and porting_guide_2.5.rst list removed modules as well as alternatives
* CHANGELOG.md links to porting guide index

To ensure that meaningful messages are given to the user if they try to use a module at the end of it's deprecation cycle we enforce the module to contain:
```python
if __name__ == '__main__':
    removed_module()
```

* allow shells to have per host options, remote_tmp

added language to shell
removed module lang setting from general as  plugins have it now
use get to avoid bad powershell plugin
more resilient tmp discovery, fall back to `pwd`
add shell to docs
fixed options for when frags are only options
added shell set ops in t_e and fixed option frags
normalize tmp dir usag4e

- pass tmpdir/tmp/temp options as env var to commands, making it default for tempfile
- adjusted ansiballz tmpdir
- default local tempfile usage to the configured local tmp
- set env temp in action

add options to powershell
shift temporary to internal envvar/params
ensure tempdir is set if we pass var
ensure basic and url use expected tempdir
ensure localhost uses local tmp
give /var/tmp priority, less perms issues
more consistent tempfile mgmt for ansiballz
made async_dir configurable
better action handling, allow for finally rm tmp
fixed tmp issue and no more tempdir in ballz
hostvarize world readable and admin users
always set shell tempdir
added comment to discourage use of exception/flow control

* Mostly revert expand_user as it's not quite working.

This was an additional feature anyhow.

Kept the use of pwd as a fallback but moved it to a second ssh
connection.  This is not optimal but getting that to work in a single
ssh connection was part of the problem holding this up.

(cherry picked from commit 395b714120522f15e4c90a346f5e8e8d79213aca)

Since yum is not installed by default on any supported Fedora releases

Brian Coca 41685fb516 fix precedence issue with facts and vars (#32302)
avoid making gathered facts high precedence, only set_fact is supposed to be.
vars set via set_fact with cacheable are higher precedence than plain facts.

Previously (after 6fbd0a8bb5) regular facts would end up with a
higher precedence than host or play vars, but they should not be. Facts were getting added to 'non_persistent_facts' (equivalent to 'register' vars) which is higher precedence than facts should be.

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.

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.
