* Introduce new "required_by' argument_spec option
This PR introduces a new **required_by** argument_spec option which allows you to say *"if parameter A is set, parameter B and C are required as well"*.
- The difference with **required_if** is that it can only add dependencies if a parameter is set to a specific value, not when it is just defined.
- The difference with **required_together** is that it has a commutative property, so: *"Parameter A and B are required together, if one of them has been defined"*.
As an example, we need this for the complex options that the xml module provides. One of the issues we often see is that users are not using the correct combination of options, and then are surprised that the module does not perform the requested action(s).
This would be solved by adding the correct dependencies, and mutual exclusives. For us this is important to get this shipped together with the new xml module in Ansible v2.4. (This is related to bugfix https://github.com/ansible/ansible/pull/28657)
```python
module = AnsibleModule(
argument_spec=dict(
path=dict(type='path', aliases=['dest', 'file']),
xmlstring=dict(type='str'),
xpath=dict(type='str'),
namespaces=dict(type='dict', default={}),
state=dict(type='str', default='present', choices=['absent',
'present'], aliases=['ensure']),
value=dict(type='raw'),
attribute=dict(type='raw'),
add_children=dict(type='list'),
set_children=dict(type='list'),
count=dict(type='bool', default=False),
print_match=dict(type='bool', default=False),
pretty_print=dict(type='bool', default=False),
content=dict(type='str', choices=['attribute', 'text']),
input_type=dict(type='str', default='yaml', choices=['xml',
'yaml']),
backup=dict(type='bool', default=False),
),
supports_check_mode=True,
required_by=dict(
add_children=['xpath'],
attribute=['value', 'xpath'],
content=['xpath'],
set_children=['xpath'],
value=['xpath'],
),
required_if=[
['count', True, ['xpath']],
['print_match', True, ['xpath']],
],
required_one_of=[
['path', 'xmlstring'],
['add_children', 'content', 'count', 'pretty_print', 'print_match', 'set_children', 'value'],
],
mutually_exclusive=[
['add_children', 'content', 'count', 'print_match','set_children', 'value'],
['path', 'xmlstring'],
],
)
```
* Rebase and fix conflict
* Add modules that use required_by functionality
* Update required_by schema
* Fix rebase issue
* k8s*: add a reference to k8s_auth in all the modules' descriptions
* k8s_auth: new k8s module for handling auth
* k8s_auth: ignore E203
Can't use module_utils.urls, since that lacks user CA support, which is
a critical feature of what this module does.

Actually, they can't be reused because of the modification of the way that the module communicate with the Gitlab instance. It doesn't make direct call to the API, now it use a python library that do the job. So using a pytest mocker to test the module won't work.

* hpilo_boot: fix module doc to match code and logic
There is no explicit nor implied value for media.
In fact, not choosing media makes perfect sense.
* Remove ignored sanity test failure
* promote doc_fragments into actual plugins
change tests hardcoded path to doc fragments
avoid sanity in fragments
avoid improper testing of doc_fragments
also change runner paths

* Integration tests now have their own list of allowed shebangs.
* Use `#!/usr/bin/env bash` instead of `#!/bin/bash`
since the location is different on various platforms.
* Add tests for WANT_JSON and old style modules
* quote source path
* Attempt to further appease tests
* Check for file and not just exists

contributor systems.
* Implement feedback from review
* In some cases, it appears that Exception should have been used instead
as there's no need to catch sys.exit KeyboardInterrupt and similar.
* In a few cases, it appears that BaseException is used because
a library we depend on calls sys.exit() contrary to good coding
design. Comment those so that we know that those have been audited
and found to be correct and change to use (Exception, SystemExit)
instead.
* win become: refactor and add support for passwordless become
* make tests more stable
* fix up dep message for Load-CommandUtils
* Add further check for System impersonation token
* re-add support for become with accounts that have no password
* doc fixes and slight code improvements
* fix doc sanity issue
* 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.

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)
* Use latest stable instead of devel docs
* win_credential_manager: new module to manage credentials
* fix sanity issues and removed CredSSP references
* renamed module to win_credential
* fix typo on test variable
* fix sanity ignore line
