* add note regarding {host,group}_vars directory lookup semantics
While the 'ansible-playbook' command will look for {host,group}_vars in
both the playbook and inventory directories, the 'ansible' command
will only look in the inventory directory. This follows from a close
reading of the documentation but isn't explicit and leads to the
perhaps unexpected result that you can run both commands with the same
configuration in the same directory and get different results.
This commit adds a note to the documentation making the difference in
behavior explicit.

Windows Subsystem for Linux is now officially supported by Microsoft. It is out of beta and will be shipping on Windows Sever 2019.
* Fix spelling of 'separate' throughout.
* Various cleanups in the User Guide for Vault.
- Fix spelling of 'algorithm'
- Fix indentation of nested list in payload format
- Fix mysterious refernce to 'b_pkey1'.
- Fix reference to newline as '\n': the backslash is lost when rendered
to the docs website. Specify the hex value for newline instead of the
backslash escape.
* Fix formatting
* Update vault.rst
* adds support for null values to the ternary filter
This change adds a third optional argument to the ternary filter to
handle a null value. If the third option is specified null and false
are treated differently.
For instance, take the following example:
{{ enabled | ternary('no shutdown', 'shutdown') }}
If enabled == True, then 'no shutdown' is used.
If enabled in (False, None), then 'shutdown' is used.
With this change the following is possible:
{{ enabled | ternary('no shutdown', 'shutdown', omit) }}
If enabled == True, then 'no shutdown'
If enabled == False, then 'shutdown'
If enabled == None, then omit
* update documentation with example of filter

Correct and clarify "set_fact" example, expanding on what is happening
in the easy-to-get-wrong import mode. Add some additional links to "group_by" documentation and the main import/include discussion.
Closes: #31596
* Improve clarity of precedence when command-line parameters are used.
* Add command-line values into the precedence list.
* Several sample config snippets were included without any explanation
of how those snippets would be processed. Added descriptions so that
the reader can understand what each snippet will (or won't) accomplish.
* Don't focus on inventory as much
Expand on the fact that it's the fact that a variable is set that
matters, not the source of the variable.
* Share the implementation of hashing for both vars_prompt and password_hash.
* vars_prompt with encrypt does not require passlib for the algorithms
supported by crypt.
* Additional checks ensure that there is always a result.
This works around issues in the crypt.crypt python function that returns
None for algorithms it does not know.
Some modules (like user module) interprets None as no password at all,
which is misleading.
* The password_hash filter supports all parameters of passlib.
This allows users to provide a rounds parameter, fixing #15326.
* password_hash is not restricted to the subset provided by crypt.crypt,
fixing one half of #17266.
* Updated documentation fixes other half of #17266.
* password_hash does not hard-code the salt-length, which fixes bcrypt
in connection with passlib.
bcrypt requires a salt with length 22, which fixes#25347
* Salts are only generated by ansible when using crypt.crypt.
Otherwise passlib generates them.
* Avoids deprecated functionality of passlib with newer library versions.
* When no rounds are specified for sha256/sha256_crypt and sha512/sha512_crypt
always uses the default values used by crypt, i.e. 5000 rounds.
Before when installed passlibs' defaults were used.
passlib changes its defaults with newer library versions, leading to non
idempotent behavior.
NOTE: This will lead to the recalculation of existing hashes generated
with passlib and without a rounds parameter.
Yet henceforth the hashes will remain the same.
No matter the installed passlib version.
Making these hashes idempotent.
Fixes#15326Fixes#17266Fixes#25347 except bcrypt still uses 2a, instead of the suggested 2b.
* random_salt is solely handled by encrypt.py.
There is no _random_salt function there anymore.
Also the test moved to test_encrypt.py.
* Uses pytest.skip when passlib is not available, instead of a silent return.
* More checks are executed when passlib is not available.
* Moves tests that require passlib into their own test-function.
* Uses the six library to reraise the exception.
* Fixes integration test.
When no rounds are provided the defaults of crypt are used.
In that case the rounds are not part of the resulting MCF output.
Extends `module_defaults` by adding a prefix to defaults `group/` which denotes a builtin list of modules. Initial groups are: `group/aws`, `group/azure`, and `group/gcp`
Wow, this does not seem to be an uncommon misspelling. Might be there
are some left that span over two lines. I noticed the one in the git
module and then used `grep -rw 'the the'` to find some more.
Blocks currently don't support loops such as with_items or sequence. It would be helpful to make this clear in the docs otherwise it's a bit of a gotcha.

The example has:
`{{ 'Some DNS servers are 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4' | regex_findall('\b(?:[0-9]{1,3}\.){3}[0-9]{1,3}\b') }}`
It needs be double backslashes to escape the backslashes:
`{{ 'Some DNS servers are 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4' | regex_findall('\\b(?:[0-9]{1,3}\\.){3}[0-9]{1,3}\\b') }}`

* Make wording for Solaris troubleshooting better.
The big one is that we needed to set plugin_type when we processed the by_support template.
Also added to list_of_CATEGORY_plugins page (which might not be used)
and corrected a place where I did module_name instead of name_module
* docs: Document disabling diff on task level
Tasks that deal with secrets may leak sensitive information when

with #28581.
