* Improve clarity of precedence when command-line parameters are used. (#39059)
* Add command-line values into the precedence list.
* Several sample config snippets were included without any explanation
of how those snippets would be processed. Added descriptions so that
the reader can understand what each snippet will (or won't) accomplish.
* Don't focus on inventory as much
Expand on the fact that it's the fact that a variable is set that
matters, not the source of the variable.
(cherry picked from commit 7988266bb7)
This also allows the test to run on newer containers by not
manipulating any of the pre-configured repositories.
(cherry picked from commit cac51e6da8)
* 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
(cherry picked from commit f221105882)
* inventory plugins: add test about config API usage (#41888)
* Check get_option method works with inventory plugins
This use case is already tested by some cloud inventoty plugin but
these tests are slow and aren't always executed, hence this new quick
test.
* AnsiblePlugin: Fix typo in docstring
(cherry picked from commit 06f5e49dfb)
* Update aliases
Only print warning when ansible.cfg is actually skipped
* Also add unittests for the find_ini_config_file function
* Add documentation on world writable current working directory
config files can no longer be loaded from a world writable current
working directory but the end user is allowed to specify that
explicitly. Give appropriate warnings and information on how.

The bundled selectors library which is used by the local and ssh
connection plugins had a bug which caused a traceback in a cornercase.
If selectors were in use and a syscall was interrupted, selectors would
attempt to restart the syscall after the interrupt was processed. if
the attempt determined that the timeout for running the syscall had
already expired, the code attempted to raise OSError. The raise was
using a Python3-ism and needed to be ported to work on Python2.

This allows the use of variables in vars_prompt fields but allows variables entered in the prompt to affect play vars rather than throwing an undefined error.
