Matt Clay b4494fa547 Remove redundant "Sanity Tests »" from page title.
The docs now have multi-level breadcrumbs so including "Sanity Tests »" in the title on a sanity test page is redundant.

Matt Clay 5ed469f6b7 Fix sanity docs page titles.
The titles are used to generate the index of sanity tests, so they should match the name of the test.

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

Tomáš Pospíšek 28b9f71640 remove ambiguity: use "my_test" as module name (#59335)
Naming a module "something_module" is misleading (see below). Let's drop the "_module" part of the module name on the developing_modules_general page.

Toshio Kuratomi 33d2728879 Rename python files in hacking/ directory to have .py suffix
ansible-test only passes files which have the .py suffix for sanity
tests on python files.  This change will allow sanity tests to run on
the Python files in hacking/

* Rename test-module to test-module.py

  test-module

Toshio Kuratomi 146a7f8ff6 Split the metaclass == type and from future boilerplate code.
The metaclass boilerplate is safe to apply en masse.  The future import
boilerplate needs code to be inspected to be sure that there aren't any
py2isms that need to be fixed.  Split these two checks so that we can
fix them independently

Be explicit about which files are grandfathered so we can fix them up one by one

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)

Bojan Vitnik b0cc240665 New module: xenserver_guest - manages XenServer VMs (#41041)
* XenServer related modules - initial commit

 - New module_util: xenserver. Contains common module arguments, functions
   and classes useful for future XenServer related modules.
 - New module_docs_fragment: xenserver. Describes common module arguments.
 - New module: xenserver_guest. Supports VM deployment, reconfiguration,
   removal, detection of changes, state management, fact gathering and
   Ansible check mode. Module is fully documented.
 - Updated: developing_module_utilities.rst.
 - Module params, workflow and some functions are based on or taken from
   vmware_guest module.

* Implemented support for configuring custom VM params in xenserver_guest module

* Compatibility fixes and documentation update

 - xenserver module_util: implemented support for XenAPI.py version older
   than 7.2.
 - xenserver module_util: PEP8 fixes.
 - xenserver module_util: Added missing imports.
 - xenserver module_util: Copyright notice fixes.
 - xenserver_guest module: updated module documentation with notes regarding
   module requirements and compatibility.
 - xenserver_guest module: bumped version_added to 2.7.
 - xenserver_guest module: minor fixes.

* VM power state management refactoring, subargument specs in xenserver_guest module, other fixes

 - VM power state management code moved from xenserver_guest module to xenserver
   module_util (set_vm_power_state function).
 - Code for waiting for VM IP address moved from xenserver_guest module to
   xenserver module_util (wait_for_vm_ip_address function).
 - xenserver module_util: implemented get_object_ref function to clean up
   a lot of repeated code in xenserver_guest module.
 - xenserver module_util: added additional aliases 'host' and 'pool' for
   'hostname' common module argument. They are more in line with what
   XenServer users are familiar with.
 - xenserver module_util: minor fixes.
 - xenserver_guest module: removed VM state management other than 'present',
   'absent' and 'poweredon'. Other states are to be managed by separate module.
 - xenserver_guest module: added subargument specs and cleaned up custom code
   for subargument validation.
 - xenserver_guest module: reorganized code for disk and network reconfiguation
   to minimize code duplication.
 - xenserver_guest module: renamed 'cdrom.iso' module argument to
   'cdrom.iso_name', avoids cryptic error message when parameter is
   missing.

Support skip of platforms by version in tests. (#48826)
* Support skip of platforms by version in tests.

Previously a remote platform could be skipped completely using the alias:

`skip/{platform}` such as `skip/rhel`

Now a specific platform version can be skipped using the alias:

`skip/{platform}{version}` such as `skip/rhel7.6`

This feature is available for platforms specified with the `--remote` option.

* Add skip by version to the docs.
