redhat_subscription: manually unregister only when registered (#6259)
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.

redhat_subscription: require credentials only when needed (#5664)
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

rhsm modules: cleanly fail when not run as root (#6211)
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.

redhat_subscription: use D-Bus for registration if possible (#6122)
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

redhat_subscription: add `server_proxy_scheme` parameter (#5662)
Add the `server_proxy_scheme` parameter to configure the scheme used for

Fixes#3486. From the man-pages of subscription-manager, none of the
parameters used are tied to the activationkey except the two that remain
in its else-clause.
Note that type is not mentioned in the man-pages on 7.6 (at least), but
is still present and available.

Stop passing all the "rhsm_", and "server_" module arguments to
"Rhsm.register()", and thus as arguments for
"subscription-manager register":
- right before calling "Rhsm.register()", "Rhsm.configure()" is called
to configure subscription-manager with all the "rhsm_", and "server_"
arguments; hence, they are already configured
- the passed argument to "--serverurl" is partially wrong:
"Rhsm.register()" passes only the hostname, whereas the other bits
(port and prefix) are supported too; this "works" because port and
prefix were already configured previously, and the lax parsing that
subscription-manager does allows for missing bits
- the parsing done by subscription-manager for "--baseurl" strips out
the URL scheme and always uses https: this means that specifying
"rhsm_baseurl: http://server" as module parameter will be taken as
"https://server" by subscription-manager; since "rhsm_baseurl" is
already configured by "Rhsm.configure()", this issue is gone

Do not mention an explicit version of Satellite for an environment to
use; future versions of Satellite will support that, and older versions
are long EOL.
Also mention Katello next to Red Hat Satellite.
