* FreeBSD do not support --omit-header and --absolute-names
* The option for following symlink wth getfacl is different on FreeBSD
* ZFS on Freebsd use nfsv4 acls, who use a slightly different syntax
* FreeBSD do not have a --test flag, so always return 'True'
* FreeBSD do not have the --omit-headers options, so we have to filter by ourself
* Mark Freebsd as working for the acl module
It is not documented in [the Ansible doc page][1] nor
[the BSD setfacl man entry][2] (which means it might not be compatible
with BSD) so removing it does not break the API.
On the other hand, it does not conform with POSIX 1003.1e DRAFT
STANDARD 17 according to the [Linux setfacl man entry][3] so safer to
remove.
Finally, the most important reason: in non POSIX 1003.e mode, only ACL
entries without the permissions field are accepted, so having an
optional field here is very much error-prone.

- Make build_entry compatible with Python 2.4
- Re-add missing warning/comment that was forgotten while refactoring
- Replace `all()` with a good ol' for-loop Python 2.4 compatibility
- Make a condition check more explicit (when `state` is `query`)
- Make sure this module can only be run with on a Linux distribution
- Add a note about Linux-only support in the documentation
- Set the version in which recursive support was added, 2.0
If you try to set rwX permissions, ACL fails to set them at all.
Expected:
$ sudo setfacl -m 'group::rwX' www
...
drwxrwxr-x 2 root root 4096 Nov 10 17:09 www
With Ansible:
acl: name=/var/www permissions=rwX etype=group state=present
...
drwxrw-r-x 2 root root 4096 Nov 10 17:30 www
x for group is erased. =/
