* Introduce new "required_by' argument_spec option
This PR introduces a new **required_by** argument_spec option which allows you to say *"if parameter A is set, parameter B and C are required as well"*.
- The difference with **required_if** is that it can only add dependencies if a parameter is set to a specific value, not when it is just defined.
- The difference with **required_together** is that it has a commutative property, so: *"Parameter A and B are required together, if one of them has been defined"*.
As an example, we need this for the complex options that the xml module provides. One of the issues we often see is that users are not using the correct combination of options, and then are surprised that the module does not perform the requested action(s).
This would be solved by adding the correct dependencies, and mutual exclusives. For us this is important to get this shipped together with the new xml module in Ansible v2.4. (This is related to bugfix https://github.com/ansible/ansible/pull/28657)
```python
module = AnsibleModule(
argument_spec=dict(
path=dict(type='path', aliases=['dest', 'file']),
xmlstring=dict(type='str'),
xpath=dict(type='str'),
namespaces=dict(type='dict', default={}),
state=dict(type='str', default='present', choices=['absent',
'present'], aliases=['ensure']),
value=dict(type='raw'),
attribute=dict(type='raw'),
add_children=dict(type='list'),
set_children=dict(type='list'),
count=dict(type='bool', default=False),
print_match=dict(type='bool', default=False),
pretty_print=dict(type='bool', default=False),
content=dict(type='str', choices=['attribute', 'text']),
input_type=dict(type='str', default='yaml', choices=['xml',
'yaml']),
backup=dict(type='bool', default=False),
),
supports_check_mode=True,
required_by=dict(
add_children=['xpath'],
attribute=['value', 'xpath'],
content=['xpath'],
set_children=['xpath'],
value=['xpath'],
),
required_if=[
['count', True, ['xpath']],
['print_match', True, ['xpath']],
],
required_one_of=[
['path', 'xmlstring'],
['add_children', 'content', 'count', 'pretty_print', 'print_match', 'set_children', 'value'],
],
mutually_exclusive=[
['add_children', 'content', 'count', 'print_match','set_children', 'value'],
['path', 'xmlstring'],
],
)
```
* Rebase and fix conflict
* Add modules that use required_by functionality
* Update required_by schema
* Fix rebase issue
* k8s*: add a reference to k8s_auth in all the modules' descriptions
* k8s_auth: new k8s module for handling auth
* k8s_auth: ignore E203
Can't use module_utils.urls, since that lacks user CA support, which is
a critical feature of what this module does.

Actually, they can't be reused because of the modification of the way that the module communicate with the Gitlab instance. It doesn't make direct call to the API, now it use a python library that do the job. So using a pytest mocker to test the module won't work.

* hpilo_boot: fix module doc to match code and logic
There is no explicit nor implied value for media.
In fact, not choosing media makes perfect sense.
* Remove ignored sanity test failure
* Refactoring of cnos_interface module like what followed by other vendors
* To remove cnos-interface from E326 validation ignore list
* Effect of default parameters impacted UT
* Docs: Add a separate "seealso" section to the module docs
to list related modules and/or related references. This clears up the notes
section for things that are actual notes.
So you can add a section in your module documentation and four types of
references are possible.
seealso:
# Reference by module name
- module: aci_tenant
# Reference by module name, including description
- module: aci_tenant
description: ACI module to create tenants on a Cisco ACI fabric.
# Reference by rST documentation anchor
- ref: aci_guide
description: Detailed information on how to manage your ACI infrastructure using Ansible.
# Reference by Internet resource
- name: APIC Management Information Model reference
description: Complete reference of the APIC object model.
link: https://developer.cisco.com/docs/apic-mim-ref/
This PR also includes:
- Implements ansible-doc support
- Implements schema support for the seealso options
- Updates to the development documentation
- Rename filter convert_symbols_to_format to rst_ify, cfr the existing html_ify and tty_ify filters
- This makes the existing template a lot easier to read and fixes the confusion I had myself rereading the template (again).
- We fixed the possible suboption types (which was limited to 'bool' only)
* Use latest stable instead of devel docs
* Added basic equivalent to PowerShell modules
* changes based on latest review
* Added tests
* ignore sanity test due to how tests are set up
* Changes to work with PSCore
* Added documentation and change updated more modules
* Add some speed optimisations to AddType
* fix some issues in the doc changes
* doc changes
* Update win_scheduled_task.py to document that the duration of a task trigger can be null, which will cause it to run indefinitely - docs update makes use of suboptions
* Add a fix for the validate-modules schema
* Remove unnecessary workaround
* add test: set RABBITMQ_NODENAME environment variable

- Add support for installing specific variants of a port.
- Add support for using yaml lists with 'name' parameter, rather than comma-separated lists.
- Add to and clarify documentation and examples.
- Use Macports nomenclature:
- s/package/port/g
- Rename update_cache to sync_ports but keep update_cache as an alias. Remove undocumented update-cache alias.
- Remove undocumented 'pkg' alias for 'name'. Replace with 'port' alias and document it.
- Print stdout and stderr output if `port sync` fails.
- Print stderr output, rather than stdout, if `port install/uninstall/activate/deactivate` fail.
