* Update targets for CI for devel branch; move some targets to stable-2.10.
* Skipping test on RHEL 8.3 (it is already skipped on RHEL 8.2).
* Linting.
* Shut 2.9/2.10 pylint complaints up.
* Improvements in module_helper
- added `ModuleHelperException` to handle problems specific to ModuleHelper
- updated `module_fails_on_exception` for `ModuleHelperException`
- `StateMixin`: composed names of state methods are now calculated instead of fixed.
- `CmdMixin`: added `run_command_fixed_options` to pass some parameters on every call
* Improvements in module_helper
- Named deprecations: ability to declare a `dict` of deprecations indexed by names, allowing module maintainer to trigger them by those names, and also allowing the module user to acknowledge them in a similar way.
- Adding `ack_named_deprecations` to module's `argument_spec` when they exist.
- Providing doc fragment for `ack_named_deprecations`.
- Added method `__quit_module__` providing a hook for code that needs to be run when quitting the module.
- Created convenience classes combining `ModuleHelper`, `StateMixin`, `CmdMixin`.

* Improvement on Named Deprecations
Per the comments in PR, we want to expose a call to a ``deprecate`` method on the module code, so that pylint can properly perform its static analysis on deprecations.
This prompted a revamp of the named deprecation feature.
* Use .get() instead of [] for the param to ack named deprecations.
* Changes from suggestions in the PR
* removed named deprecations
* Update changelogs/fragments/1480-module-helper-improvements.yml

* Big revamp in xfconf.py
- added plugin/module_utils/module_helper.py
- scaffold class for writing modules, beyond standard AnsibleModule
- automatic capture of exceptions
- easier dependency testing
- StateMixin to easily handle different behaviours for 'state' param
- CmdMixin to easily run external commands
- adapted test_xfconf.py
- the args for run_command are now lists instead of a string
- value and previous_value were not being tested before (because xfconf wasn't filling results - see below)
- added more tests: setting value to previous_value, getting non-existent property
- rewritten xfconf module, keeping the same results
- original module posted results as ansible_facts, this version still does it for compatibility, but also adds to the module result
* Added suggestions from the PR
* Added russoz as maintainer for the module_utils/module_helper.py file
* Formatting using printf-style requires special treatment
Strings not containing substitution tokens must work as well.
* Tidied up variables in module definition
* Tests with ArgFormat and DependencyCtxMgr
* pytest parameters must be in the same order, it seems
* improved testing for the DependencyCtxMgr
* fixed test for older pythons
* Moved changed property to improve readability
* Added testcase for state: absent and adjusted xfconf after it
* Fixed param name environ_update in run_command()
* added changelog fragment
* fixed tests after run_command param change
