* Add `ignore_spaces` option to `ini_file` to ignore spacing changes
Add a new `ignore_spaces` option to the `ini_file` module which, if
true, prevents the module from changing a line in a file if the only
thing that would change by doing so is whitespace before or after the
`=`.
Also add test cases for this new functionality. There were previously
no tests for `ini_file` at all, and this doesn't attempt to fix that,
but it does add tests to ensure that the new behavior implemented here
as well as the old behavior in the affected code are correct.
Fixes#7202.

* ini_file: Don't creates new file instead of following symlink
This is a bug fix that address a situation where `community.general.ini_file`
was destroying symlinks instead of updating of updating their targets.
Closes: #6470

If `poth` points on a symlink and `follow` is true, the `ini_file` plugin
will preserve the symlink and modify the target file.
