* We need a directory walker that can handle symlinks, empty directories,
and some other odd needs. This commit contains a directory walker that
can do all that. The walker returns information about the files in the
directories that we can then use to implement different strategies for
copying the files to the remote machines.
* Add local_follow parameter to copy that follows local symlinks (follow
is for remote symlinks)
* Refactor the copying of files out of run into its own method
* Add new integration tests for copy
Fixes#24949Fixes#21513
* keep unsafe .. unsafe
fixes#23734, which was broken in previous fix that allowed non string types to be templated
use new 'is_template' function vs bastardizing others
refactored clean_data to allow for arbitrary data structures to clean
fixed/removed some tests
* deal with complex data for is_template
* typos
Copy module was walking over files in subdirectories repeatedly (a
directory tree a few levels deep could bring the time spent into the
tens of minutes)
This was traced to the fix for this bug report: https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/13013Fixed#13013 a different way and added an integration test to check for
regressions of #13013 as we optimize this code.
Fixes#21513
