They are useful only with RHN, which Red Hat discontinued many years
ago, and with Spacewalk 5, which is EOL for more than 3 years;
while they could be potentially used with Uyuni / SUSE Manager (fork of
Spacewalk 5), we have not heard about anyone using it in those setups.
Hence, deprecate these two modules, with their removal planned for
10.0.0 in case there are no reports about being still useful, and
potentially noone that steps up to maintain them.

* feat: Allow non-returning SQL statements
- The current implementation fails out when certain statements or
batches do not have resultsets - this limits the usefulness of the
module
- Instead, it is known that statements without resultsets return then
OperationalError exception with text "Statement not executed or
executed statement has no resultset". We will utilize these facts to
accept these statements
- The implementation also assumes that users will always use best-
practices for the script syntax; that is, "GO" will always be
capitalized but this is not strictly required -- update to allow "GO"
to be any mixed-case

Since their introduction, these modules rely on 'pipx list --json' to

The lack of support causes the pipx module to fail if attempting to use

pipx install (fine) and pipx upgrade (fails).

It turns out that the 'environments' that the D-Bus Register*() APIs
accept are the IDs of the environments, and not the user-facing names of
the environments (which is what the module has been accepting so far).
Since there is no easy way to do the mapping manually, for now use again
the subscription-manager CLI for registering when environments are
specified.

* dconf: Correctly handle setting a key that has no value in DB
We need to check if the value in the database is None before we try to
parse it, because the GVariant parser won't accept None as an input
value. By definition if the value is None, i.e., there's no value in
the database, than any value the user is trying to set is a change, so
just indicate that it's a change without trying to compare the None to
whatever the user specified as the value.x
* dconf: Give a more useful error when writing a key fails
if writing a key fails, then include in the error that is returned the
exact key and value aguments that were given to the dconf command, to
assist in diagnosing failures caused by providing the key or value in
the wrong format.x
* dconf: Convert boolean values into the format that dconf expects
Even though we warn users to be careful to specify GVariant strings
for values, a common error is to be trying to specify a boolean string
which ends up getting converted into a boolean by the YAML parser or
Ansible. Then it gets converted to "True" or "False", the string
representations of Python booleans, which are not valid GVariants.
Rather than just failing with an obscure error when this happens,
let's be more user-friendly and detect when the user has specified a
boolean and convert it into the correct GVariant forms, "true" or
"false", so it just works. There's no good reason to be more pedantic
than that.

Factorize the current logic to determine whether use 'environments' as
D-Bus registration option (rather than 'environment') in an own
function, so it is easier to read it and maintain it.
With the small helper function in place, extend the logic to support
CentOS: it is in practice the same as the RHEL one, with an additional
check to support CentOS Stream 8 (which is a rolling release, and not
versioned).
When registering using D-Bus and using a version of subscription-manager
with an unimplemented 'force' option, then unregister manually the
system only if it is registered. 'subscription-manager unregister'
errors out when trying to unregister an already unregistered system.

* update_kernel performs update-kernel to upgrade kernel packages.
* update_cache, clean, dist_upgrade and update_kernel can be used with and without specified packages.
The module currently has a static 'required_if' statement for its
parameters that forces any of 'username' or 'activationkey' or 'token'
in case state=present; while this is generally a good idea, it can be
an extra requirements in some cases. In particular, if the system is
already registered, there is no need for credentials -- some of the
operations of the module, such as manipulating pools, can be done
perfectly without credentials.
Hence:
- change the static 'required_if' to require credentials only when
forcing the registration
- check for credentials manually when a registration is needed, i.e.
on an unregistered system; the fail message is the same as the one
shown by 'required_if'
Adapt the tests to this new situation:
- test_without_required_parameters now needs to mock an unregistered
system
- add a new version of test_without_required_parameters to test an
already registered system
- add a simple test case for only state=present usable on an already
registered system
- remove the credentials from a test case for pool attachment that
mocks an already registered system
subscription-manager on RHEL installs a symlink in /usr/bin to
console-helper (part of usermode), which triggers an interactive prompt
for root credentials when run as user. It seems that console-helper
does not handle well non-interactive contexts (e.g. without a TTY for
input), and thus it will hang waiting for input when run as user in an
Ansible task.
Since subscription-manager requires root already anyway (and it will
fail when explicitly run as user), then apply the same logic locally on
all the modules that interact with it: redhat_subscription,
rhsm_release, and rhsm_repository.

subscription-manager currently does not have a way to get credentials
(username, password, activation keys, organization ID) in a secure way:
the existing command line parameters can be easily spotted when running
a process listing while 'subscription-manager register' runs.
There is a D-Bus service, which is used by e.g. cockpit and Anaconda to
interface with RHSM (at least for registration and common queries).
Try to perform the registration using D-Bus, in a way very similar to
the work done in convert2rhel [1] (with my help):
- try to do a simple signal test to check whether the system bus works;
inspired by the login in the dconf module
- pass most of the options as registration options; for the few that are
not part of the registration, execute 'subscription-manager' manually
- add quirks for differently working (or not) registration options for
the D-Bus Register*() methods depending on the version of RHEL
- 'subscription-manager register' is used only in case the signal test
is not working; silent fallback in case of D-Bus errors during the
registration is not done on purpose to avoid silent fallback to a less
secure registration
[1] https://github.com/oamg/convert2rhel/pull/540/
