Refinements:
- return legal_inputs and update class properties
- remove redundant arguments from method and handle in caller
- add better exception types to method
* Add unit tests for handle_aliases
User module can contain Indentation errors or syntax errors.
Handle AST exceptions rather than showing traceback while importing such module.
Fixes: #21707

* Move get_all_subclasses out of sys_info as it is unrelated to system
information.
* get_all_subclasses now returns a set() instead of a list.
* Don't port get_platform to sys_info as it is deprecated. Code using
the common API should just use platform.system() directly.
* Rename load_platform_subclass() to get_platform_subclass and do not
instantiate the rturned class.
* Test the compat shims in module_utils/basic.py separately from the new
API in module_utils/common/sys_info.py and module_utils/common/_utils.py
* Enable the pylint no-name-in-module check. Checks that identifiers in
imports actually exist. When we do this, we also have to ignore
_MovedItems used in our bundled six. This means pylint won't check
for bad imports below ansible.module_utils.six.moves but that's
something that pylint punts on with a system copy of six so this is
still an improvement.
* Remove automatic use of system six. The exec in the six code which
tried to use a system library if available destroyed pylint's ability
to check for imports of identifiers which did not exist (the
no-name-in-module check). That test is important enough that we
should sacrifice the bundling detection in favour of the test.
Distributions that want to unbundle six can replace the bundled six in
ansible/module_utils/six/__init__.py to unbundle. however, be aware
that six is tricky to unbundle. They may want to base their efforts
off the code we were using:
2fff690caa/lib/ansible/module_utils/six/__init__.py
* Update tests for new location of bundled six Several code-smell tests
whitelist the bundled six library. Update the path to the library so
that they work.
* Also check for basestring in modules as the enabled pylint tests will
also point out basestring usage for us.
* test/: PEP8 compliancy
- Make PEP8 compliant
* Python3 chokes on casting int to bytes (#24952)
But if we tell the formatter that the var is a number, it works
* Update module_utils.six to latest
We've been held back on the version of six we could use on the module
side to 1.4.x because of python-2.4 compatibility. Now that our minimum
is Python-2.6, we can update to the latest version of six in
module_utils and get rid of the second copy in lib/ansible/compat.
This version just gets the relevant paths from PluginLoader and then
uses the existing imp.find_plugin() calls in the AnsiballZ code to load
the proper module_utils.
Modify PluginLoader to optionally omit subdirectories (module_utils
needs to operate on top level dirs, not on subdirs because it has
a hierarchical namespace whereas all other plugins use a flat
namespace).
Rename snippet* variables to module_utils*
Add a small number of unittests for recursive_finder
Add a larger number of integration tests to demonstrate that
module_utils is working.
Whitelist module-style shebang in test target library dirs
Prefix module_data variable with b_ to be clear that it holds bytes data
