Add `ignore_spaces` option to `ini_file` to ignore spacing changes (#7273)
* 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.
* Add changelog fragment
* pep8 / pylint
* remove unused import
* fix typo in comment in integration test file
* Add symlink tests to main.yml
It appears that #6546 added symlink tests but neglected to add them to
main.yml so they weren't being executed.
* ini_file symlink tests; create output files in correct location
* Add integration tests for ini_file ignore_spaces
* PR feedback

ini_file: Don't creates new file instead of following symlink (#6546)
* 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
* ini_file: add the follow parameter
If `poth` points on a symlink and `follow` is true, the `ini_file` plugin
will preserve the symlink and modify the target file.
* adjust the documentation of the new key
- yes/no -> true/false.
- new key will be introduced in 7.1.0.
- clean up the `state=link` part.
