* Bare minimum rip out cliconf
* nxapi changeover
* Update documentation, move options
* Memoize device_info
* Gratuitous rename to underscore use of local api implementation
Fixup eos module_utils like nxos
* Streamline version and image scans
* Expose get_capabilities through module_utils
* Add load_config to module_utils
* Support rpcs using both args and kwargs
* Add get_config for nxos
* Add get_diff
* module context, pulled from nxapi
We could probably do this correctly later
* Fix eos issues
* Limit connection._sub_plugin to only one plugin
* Change how data is sent to the persistent connection socket.
We can't rely on readline(), so send the size of the data first. We can
then read that many bytes from the stream on the recieving end.
* Set pty to noncanonical mode before sending
* Now that we send data length, we don't need a sentinel anymore
* Copy socket changes to persistent, too
* Use os.write instead of fdopen()ing and using that.
* Follow pickle with sha1sum of pickle
* Swap order of vars and init being passed to ansible-connection
* Raise exception if command timeout is triggered
Fixes#43076
If persistent connection timeout is triggered, riase
exception which will be send over socket to module code
instead of silently shutting down the socket.
* Fix CI failure
* Fix review comment
* Fix CI failure
* Fix review comment
* Fix review comment
* Add troubleshooting URL for persistent socket path related issue
socket path timeout related error messages are not displayed on the
console as the ansible-connection process does not have access to it.
Until this is fixed need to point to troubleshooting URL so that
users can take corrective actions.
* Fix CI issue
* Fix junos integration test fixes as per connection refactor (#33050)
Refactor netconf connection plugin to work with netconf plugin

Fix unit test failure
Fix review comments
* Remove uses of assert in production code
* Fix assertion
* Add code smell test for assertions, currently limited to lib/ansible
* Fix assertion
* Add docs for no-assert
* Remove new assert from enos
* Fix assert in module_utils.connection
* implements jsonrpc message passing for ansible-connection
* implements more generic mechanism for persistent connections
* starts persistent connection in task_executor if enabled and supported
* supports using network_cli as top level connection plugin
* enhances logging for persistent connection to stdout
* Update action plugins
* Fix Python3 RPC
* Fix Junos bytes<-->str issues

* Update tests
* Fix `authorize: yes` for `connection: local`
* Handle potentially JSON data in terminal
* Add clarifying detail if possible on ConnectionError
refactors the Connection class to use the top level function. This will
make the request_builder() function useful for other components such as
action handlers.
