As recently there was back-and-forth with this hardcoded value
(0.001 -> 0.01 -> 0.005), obviousely the optimal value for it depends on
Ansible usage scanario and is better to be configurable.
This patch adds a new config option in DEFAULT section,
`internal_poll_interval`, with default of 0.001 corresponding to the
value hardcoded in Ansible v2.1.
This config option is then used instead of hardcoded values where
needed.

Implement tag and skip_tag handling in the CLI() class. Change tag and
skip_tag command line options to be accepted multiple times on the CLI
and add them together rather than overwrite.
* Make it configurable whether to merge or overwrite multiple --tags arguments
* Make the base CLI class an abstractbaseclass so we can implement
functionality in parse() but still make subclasses implement it.
* Deprecate the overwrite feature of --tags with a message that the
default will change in 2.4 and go away in 2.5.
* Add documentation for merge_multiple_cli_flags
* Fix galaxy search so its tags argument does not conflict with generic tags
* Unit tests and more integration tests for tags
* ssh_executable docs
Added docs about ssh_executable in intro_configuration and
intro_inventory under behavioral inventory params
* Added full stops + \n in intro_configuration
This makes Ansible no longer set LC_ALL for remote systems. It is up to
the individual modules to set LC_ALL if they need it for screenscraping
the output from a program.
This is the 2.2 followup for #15138
This makes our recursive, ast.parse performance measures as fast as
pre-ziploader baseline.
Since this unittest isn't testing that the returned module data is
correct we don't need to worry about os.rename not having any module
data. Should devise a separate test for the module and caching code
* Reformat glossary as a sphinx glossary so that :term: will work.
* Add a document decribing program flow for executing modules
* Feedback from @docschick
* More feedback from docschick for the Program Flow: Modules doc
* Changes to address docschick's feedback on the glossary
* Add note section for async plugin
* make singular
* Make documentation examples into code blocks
* Make code to call the subsets more general.
* Made min subset always execute (cannot disable it).
* Use a passed in modules parameter rather than global modules. This is needed for ziploader
* Remove unneeded __init__()
* Remove uneeded multiple inheritance from a base class
* gather_facts is now a list type
The correct default options for sudo_flags can be found at: https://github.com/ansible/ansible/blob/devel/lib/ansible/constants.py#L181
Slightly alter explanation of '-H' so as not to confuse it with -E, --preserve-env (which preserves existing environment variables).
When adding the two other options, include short explanations of those options.
Add note about '-n', which did not appear in 1.x I believe, and which bit me.
`constants.py` is referenced in the *Environmental configuration* section of the documentation. This change provides a link from the documentation to the source code.
This is based on some code from (closed) PR #7872, but reworked based on
suggestions by @abadger and the other core team members.
Closes#7872 by @darkk (hash_merge/hash_replace filters)
