Collection content loading (#52194)
* basic plugin loading working (with many hacks)

* task collections working

* play/block-level collection module/action working

* implement PEP302 loader

* implicit package support (no need for __init.py__ in collections)
* provides future options for secure loading of content that shouldn't execute inside controller (eg, actively ignore __init__.py on content/module paths)
* provide hook for synthetic collection setup (eg ansible.core pseudo-collection for specifying built-in plugins without legacy path, etc)

* synthetic package support

* ansible.core.plugins mapping works, others don't

* synthetic collections working for modules/actions

* fix direct-load legacy

* change base package name to ansible_collections

* note

* collection role loading

* expand paths from installed content root vars

* feature complete?

* rename ansible.core to ansible.builtin

* and various sanity fixes

* sanity tweaks

* unittest fixes

* less grabby error handler on has_plugin

* probably need to replace with a or harden callers

* fix win_ping test

* disable module test with explicit file extension; might be able to support in some scenarios, but can't see any other tests that verify that behavior...

* fix unicode conversion issues on py2

* attempt to keep things working-ish on py2.6

* python2.6 test fun round 2

* rename dirs/configs to "collections"

* add wrapper dir for content-adjacent

* fix pythoncheck to use localhost

* unicode tweaks, native/bytes string prefixing

* rename COLLECTION_PATHS to COLLECTIONS_PATHS

* switch to pathspec

* path handling cleanup

* change expensive `all` back to or chain

* unused import cleanup

* quotes tweak

* use wrapped iter/len in Jinja proxy

* var name expansion

* comment seemingly overcomplicated playbook_paths resolution

* drop unnecessary conditional nesting

* eliminate extraneous local

* zap superfluous validation function

* use slice for rolespec NS assembly

* misc naming/unicode fixes

* collection callback loader asks if valid FQ name instead of just '.'
* switch collection role resolution behavior to be internally `text` as much as possible

* misc fixmes

* to_native in exception constructor
* (slightly) detangle tuple accumulation mess in module_utils __init__ walker

* more misc fixmes

* tighten up action dispatch, add unqualified action test

* rename Collection mixin to CollectionSearch

* (attempt to) avoid potential confusion/conflict with builtin collections, etc

* stale fixmes

* tighten up pluginloader collections determination

* sanity test fixes

* ditch regex escape

* clarify comment

* update default collections paths config entry

* use PATH format instead of list

* skip integration tests on Python 2.6

*******
Ansible
*******

Ansible is a radically simple IT automation system. It handles
configuration-management, application deployment, cloud provisioning,
ad-hoc task-execution, and multinode orchestration -- including
trivializing things like zero-downtime rolling updates with load
balancers.

Read the documentation and more at https://ansible.com/

You can find installation instructions
`here <https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/installation_guide/intro_installation.html>`_ for a
variety of platforms.

Most users should probably install a released version of Ansible from ``pip``, a package manager or
our `release repository <https://releases.ansible.com/ansible/>`_. `Officially supported
<https://www.ansible.com/ansible-engine>`_ builds of Ansible are also available. Some power users
run directly from the development branch - while significant efforts are made to ensure that
``devel`` is reasonably stable, you're more likely to encounter breaking changes when running
Ansible this way.

Design Principles
=================

*  Have a dead simple setup process and a minimal learning curve.
*  Manage machines very quickly and in parallel.
*  Avoid custom-agents and additional open ports, be agentless by
   leveraging the existing SSH daemon.
*  Describe infrastructure in a language that is both machine and human
   friendly.
*  Focus on security and easy auditability/review/rewriting of content.
*  Manage new remote machines instantly, without bootstrapping any
   software.
*  Allow module development in any dynamic language, not just Python.
*  Be usable as non-root.
*  Be the easiest IT automation system to use, ever.

Get Involved
============

*  Read `Community
   Information <https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/community>`_ for all
   kinds of ways to contribute to and interact with the project,
   including mailing list information and how to submit bug reports and
   code to Ansible.
*  All code submissions are done through pull requests to the ``devel`` branch.
*  Feel free to talk to us before making larger changes
   to avoid duplicate efforts. This not only helps everyone
   know what's going on, it also helps save time and effort if we decide
   some changes are needed.
*  Users list:
   `ansible-project <https://groups.google.com/group/ansible-project>`_
*  Development list:
   `ansible-devel <https://groups.google.com/group/ansible-devel>`_
*  Announcement list:
   `ansible-announce <https://groups.google.com/group/ansible-announce>`_
   -- read only
*  irc.freenode.net: #ansible
*  For the full list of Email Lists, IRC channels see the
   `Communication page <https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/community/communication.html>`_

Branch Info
===========

*  Releases are named after Led Zeppelin songs. (Releases prior to 2.0
   were named after Van Halen songs.)
*  The ``devel`` branch corresponds to the release actively under
   development.
*  The ``stable-2.x`` branches exist for current releases.
*  Various release-X.Y branches exist for previous releases.
*  For information about the active branches see the
   `Ansible release and maintenance <https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/reference_appendices/release_and_maintenance.html>`_ page.
*  We'd love to have your contributions, read the `Community
   Guide <https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/community>`_ for notes on
   how to get started.

Roadmap
=======

Based on team and community feedback, an initial roadmap will be published for a major or minor version (ex: 2.0, 2.1).
Subminor versions will generally not have roadmaps published.

The `Ansible Roadmap page <https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/devel/roadmap/>`_ details what is planned and how to influence the roadmap.

Authors
=======

Ansible was created by `Michael DeHaan <https://github.com/mpdehaan>`_
(michael.dehaan/gmail/com) and has contributions from over 4000 users
(and growing). Thanks everyone!
