* Due to the takeover of freenode we're moving to a different irc network.
* Our channels updated to point at the same channel name on libera.chat
* Some links went to webchat.freenode.net. At this time, libera.chat
doesn't point you to an official webchat client so I changed these to
https://libera.chat. (kiwi irc does work with libera.chat so that
could be another option).
* In general, I used the name irc.libera.net for link names and
https://libera.chat for link targets. This is because the irc service
is hosted on irc.libera.chat but the project web server is hosted on
libera.chat. (This appears to also be true for freenode but we were
using http://irc.freenode.net which doesn't seem to work. Oops).
* Removed http://irc.freenode.net from the linkcheck exceptions.
linkcheck was actually correct to flag that as invalid (should have
been http://frenode.net instead).
* Looks like hte important people in #yaml are now in libera.chat
* Link to where contributors should get help
Add a link target and then link to where contributors should get support
for developing groups of modules.
* Update docs/docsite/rst/dev_guide/developing_modules_in_groups.rst

* Replace InventoryFileCacheModule with a better developer-interface
Use new interface for inventory plugins with backwards compatibility
Auto-update the backing cache-plugin if the cache has changed after parsing the inventory plugin
* Update CacheModules to use the config system and add a deprecation warning if they are being imported directly rather than using cache_loader
* Fix foreman inventory caching
* Add tests
* Add integration test to check that fact caching works normally with cache plugins using ansible.constants and inventory caching provides a helpful error for non-compatible cache plugins
* Add some developer documentation for inventory and cache plugins
* Add user documentation for inventory caching
* Add deprecation docs
* Apply suggestions from docs review
* Add changelog
* Changed 'Control Machine' to 'Control Node' in the documentation. Changing the term 'Control Machine' to 'Control Node', to be in line with the basic concepts here: https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/network/getting_started/basic_concepts.html
Also for both entities; Control/Managed using the same common denominator 'Node' brings consistency.
* Updated reference links to new term.
Example instantiates an AnsibleError which derives from Exception but doesn't actually raise it like intended. This is misleading as it's not clear without examining the code for AnsibleError to know that it's not some function which would raise the exception automatically.
