* ROADMAP updates
* Formatting - Especially the first section
* Reno Release notes is out of scope (I believe?)
* Change "Speed up make webdocs to stretched Goal - As I don't believe we currently know *how* we can achieve this
* Removed the word `Hardening` as it implies security, which isn't something we are actively working on in 2.3
When loading an include statically, we previously were simply doing a
copy() of the TaskInclude object, which recurses up the parents creating
a new lineage of objects. This caused problems when used inside load_list_of_blocks
as the new parent Block of the new TaskInclude was not actually in the list
of blocks being operated on. In most circumstances, this did not cause a
problem as the new parent block was a proper copy, however when used in
combination with PlaybookInclude (which copies conditionals to the list of
blocks loaded) this untracked parent was not being properly updated, leading
to tasks being run improperly.
Fixes#18206
- Use assertRaisesRegexp to make sure correct exceptions are raised.
- Set docker_command to avoid docker dependency (skips find_executable).
- Use a fake path for docker_command to make sure mock.patch is working.

In some situations, where the Base class defines an Attribute, the
BaseMeta class doesn't properly see the _get_parent_attribute or
_get_attr_<whatever> methods because of multiple layers of subclasses
(ie. Handler, which subclasses Task). This addresses that by merging
the __dict__ of the parent with the current classes __dict__ meaning
all future iterations see available special methods.
Fixes#18378
* Refactor OpenBSD sysctl based detection in a separate class
The idea is later to reuse this code for NetBSD and FreeBSD, who
use a different sysctl key for vendor and product.
* Add detection of virtualisation on NetBSD
* Add support to detect running as a Xen guest
tested on NetBSD 7 on Rackspace.
