Raise the bar for module `DOCUMENTAION`
This validator update was used to find the issues in https://github.com/ansible/ansible/pull/22297/files
**Validation**
* Updated Validation and docs to enforce more (items fixed in https://github.com/ansible/ansible/pull/22297/files)
* Use `suboptions` to document complex options
* Validate module name
* Validate deprecated modules have correct ANSIBLE_METADATA
**Module Documentation Generation**
* Document `suboptions:` Example https://gist.github.com/gundalow/4bdc3669d696268328ccc18528cc6718
* Tidy up HTML generation (valid HTML, no empty lists, etc)
**Documentation**
* Clarify the steps for deprecating a module
* Use correct RST headings
* Document `suboptions:` (options)
* Document `contains:` (returns)
**Details**
The aim is to get this (and corresponding module updates) complete by the time `devel` becomes `2.4`, as this allows us to raise the bar for new modules
Example `suboptions` https://gist.github.com/gundalow/4bdc3669d696268328ccc18528cc6718
The aim is to get this PR integrated into `devel` *before* we branch `stable-2.3`, this will allows us to:
* Raise the bar for new modules in 2.4
* Ensure the generated module documentation for 2.3 and higher is improved, important as we will be doing versioned docs moving forward.
* Update test-module
Ensuring invoke is assigned

* Update test-module
Made the change to only require a single if, making the function more 'DRY'.
* Use ansible_python_interpreter to run modules
Use ansible_python_interpreter to run modules if
`-I ansible_python_interpreter` is set.
Remove unused default from `-I` help text.
* Update test-module to pep8 standards
- Replace nose usage with pytest.
- Remove legacy Shippable integration.sh.
- Update Makefile to use pytest and ansible-test.
- Convert most yield unit tests to pytest parametrize.
- Remove shebangs from:
- ini files
- unit tests
- module_utils
- plugins
- module_docs_fragments
- non-executable Makefiles
- Change non-modules from '/usr/bin/python' to '/usr/bin/env python'.
- Change '/bin/env' to '/usr/bin/env'.
Also removed main functions from unit tests (since they no longer
have a shebang) and fixed a python 3 compatibility issue with
update_bundled.py so it does not need to specify a python 2 shebang.
A script was added to check for unexpected shebangs in files.
This script is run during CI on Shippable.
* Remove old egg-info files before creating new ones
Currently, setup.py generates egg files then they are deleted. This change
fixes this behavior and matches that in env-setup.
* Do not try to move ansible*egg-info to lib/
setup.py creates the ansible.egg-info in lib/ so this step is unnecessary. Matches env-setup behavior.
* Better test for number of arguments in argv
This prevents an erronous error message from being thrown since set -q returns an error code with the number of variables not defined, resulting in a non-zero exit if no arguments are passed.
Indent case statement within switch statement.
Currently, "ansible localhost -m setup" can fail silently during the
run of gen_distribution_version_testcase.py, resulting in incorrect
output. Use check_output() rather than communicate() and handle
the exception if we get a nonzero return value.
As suggested in feedback on
https://github.com/ansible/ansible/pull/17575, add
os_family to test_distribution_version. Add the
correct os_family to the existing testcase data
entries.
Also add os_family to the output of
gen_distribution_version_testcase.py so any new
generated entries will contain this data.
We couldn't copy to_unicode, to_bytes, to_str into module_utils because
of licensing. So once created it we had two sets of functions that did
the same things but had different implementations. To remedy that, this
change removes the ansible.utils.unicode versions of those functions.
