remove azure extras and extras_require support (#67822)
* remove azure extras and extras_require support

* Since Azure will be collectionized, the requirements will float more frequently than Ansible releases; the Azure collection needs to host the requirements now.
* Removed the dynamic extras support as well, since Azure was the only thing using it. If we need it again, it's easy to pull back from history.

* Mark azure-requirements as orhpaned.

This keeps the docs around so that existing links from old test runs remain valid.

Replace 'message' in module parameters (#60051)
* 'message' parameter is replaced by 'commit_message' in grafana_dashboard
* 'message' parameter is replaced by 'notification_message' in datadog_monitor

This change is required since 'message' as parameter name is used internally by
Ansible core engine.

Forbid `state=(list|info)` in modules via ansible-test sanity check
PR #66898

This change introduces a new sanity check with code
`parameter-state-invalid-choice` in the `ansible-test sanity`
validator. It enforces modules not to support `list` or `info`
as their `state`.

Automation Hub and Galaxy is the only place that still uses the term "API Key",
which it could be argued should change.

Ansible.Basic - Added deprecated_aliases (#66323) 5 years ago
kaorihinata 3ca4580cb4 Allow no_log=False to silence the no_log warnings for module parameters (#64733)
As AnsibleModule._log_invocation is currently implemented, any parameter
with a name that matches PASSWORD_MATCH triggers the no_log warning as a
precaution against parameters that may contain sensitive data, but have not
been marked as sensitive by the module author.

This patch would allow module authors to explicitly mark the aforementioned
parameters as not sensitive thereby bypassing an erroneous warning message,
while still catching parameters which have not been marked at all by the
author.

Adds tests for various no_log states including True, False, and None (as
extracted by AnsibleModule._log_invocation) when applied to an argument with
a name that matches PASSWORD_MATCH.

Fixes for validate-modules import handling. (#63932)
* Fix validate-modules support for collections.

- Relative imports now work correctly.
- The collection loader is now used.
- Modules are invoked as `__main__`.

* Remove obsolete validate-modules code ignores.

* Handle sys.exit in validate-modules.

* Add check for AnsibleModule initialization.

* Remove `missing-module-utils-import` check.

This check does not support relative imports or collections.

Instead of trying to overhaul the test, we can rely on the `ansible-module-not-initialized` test instead.

* Fix badly named error codes with `c#` in the name.

The `#` conflicts with comments in the sanity test ignore files.

* Add changelog entries.

Gonéri Le Bouder 964783fbd2 vmware_guest: speed up vmware_guest tests
- Use predictable VM name during the tests (test_vm1, test_vm2 and
  test_vm2). This to simplify the teardown of the newly created resource
  before the next test.
- Update the documentation to explain the new requirement
- Avoid VM creation with `with_items` when it's not mandatory. This to:
    - speed up the test execution, our hypervisors have limited resources
    - simplify the teardown
- Remove `create_d1_c1_f0_env.yml`, the test was just testing how Ansible
  pass environment variables.
- Correct the name for the `f0` variable (`f1`)
- Fix the DVS tests, the hosts can now reach the dvswitch1 vswitch
- Provision the VM with a poweroff status, this to improve the
  idempotency and sleep up the tests
- Avoid the use of `prepare_vmware_tests` to prepare virtual machines
  when we just need one machine

Dag Wieers baf0ad2309 Docs: Add a "seealso" section to the module docs (#45949)
* Docs: Add a separate  "seealso" section to the module docs
to list related modules and/or related references. This clears up the notes
section for things that are actual notes.

So you can add a section in your module documentation and four types of
references are possible.

    seealso:

    # Reference by module name
    - module: aci_tenant

    # Reference by module name, including description
    - module: aci_tenant
      description: ACI module to create tenants on a Cisco ACI fabric.

    # Reference by rST documentation anchor
    - ref: aci_guide
      description: Detailed information on how to manage your ACI infrastructure using Ansible.

    # Reference by Internet resource
    - name: APIC Management Information Model reference
      description: Complete reference of the APIC object model.
      link: https://developer.cisco.com/docs/apic-mim-ref/

This PR also includes:

- Implements ansible-doc support
- Implements schema support for the seealso options
- Updates to the development documentation
- Rename filter convert_symbols_to_format to rst_ify, cfr the existing html_ify and tty_ify filters
  - This makes the existing template a lot easier to read and fixes the confusion I had myself rereading the template (again).
- We fixed the possible suboption types (which was limited to 'bool' only)
