* Consistency and document treatment of default bool values
* Document that default bool values can be any Ansible recognized bool.
choose the one that reads better in context
* For fragments used by the copy module, make bool types use type=bool and not choices
* Edit for clarity
(cherry picked from commit 8a2f069468)
* fix two broken absolute links
instead of using absolute links, we use normal Sphinx mechanics to make sure those links work portably in the future
* reformat list so paragraphs are properly indented
* use git+https:// in the example url because not everyone will have ssh
keys registered on github
* Remove the link to the github tarballs as they do not work. users can
use releases.ansible.com instead.

This commit:
- Adds a table highlighting the status of each version and provides
a link to each major release's changelog
- Re-inforces how stable versions are maintained and for how long
- Moves this documentation out of the developer tree (this is
interesting for users too!) while keeping a link there.

CVE-2017-7481
Lookup returns wrap the result in unsafe, however when used through the
standard templar engine, this does not result in the jinja2 environment being
marked as unsafe as a whole. This means the lookup result looses the unsafe
protection and may become simple unicode strings, which can result in bad
things being re-templated.
This also adds a global lookup param and cfg options for lookups to allow
unsafe returns, so users can force the previous (insecure) behavior.

(cherry picked from commit 0b585ec4fd)
Due to the number of "real world" caveats in the current runas become method, it was agreed that we'd warn that it's experimental on use. A potential future version based on LogonUser/CreateProcessAsUser will have very different requirements and limitations.

Raise the bar for module `DOCUMENTAION`
This validator update was used to find the issues in https://github.com/ansible/ansible/pull/22297/files
**Validation**
* Updated Validation and docs to enforce more (items fixed in https://github.com/ansible/ansible/pull/22297/files)
* Use `suboptions` to document complex options
* Validate module name
* Validate deprecated modules have correct ANSIBLE_METADATA
**Module Documentation Generation**
* Document `suboptions:` Example https://gist.github.com/gundalow/4bdc3669d696268328ccc18528cc6718
* Tidy up HTML generation (valid HTML, no empty lists, etc)
**Documentation**
* Clarify the steps for deprecating a module
* Use correct RST headings
* Document `suboptions:` (options)
* Document `contains:` (returns)
**Details**
The aim is to get this (and corresponding module updates) complete by the time `devel` becomes `2.4`, as this allows us to raise the bar for new modules
Example `suboptions` https://gist.github.com/gundalow/4bdc3669d696268328ccc18528cc6718
The aim is to get this PR integrated into `devel` *before* we branch `stable-2.3`, this will allows us to:
* Raise the bar for new modules in 2.4
* Ensure the generated module documentation for 2.3 and higher is improved, important as we will be doing versioned docs moving forward.
The existing examples in the "Gotchas" section were rather simple. Expanded upon those to add some additional clarity around how the quoting in YAML works.
* Added example of referring to AWS-credentials
.. when they're stored in variables. Spent few hours trying to figure out why credentials from vault/variables were not used.
* Update guide_aws.rst
Edited for grammar.
* inventory: test 'all' & 'ungrouped' groups created by default
* Mention default groups 'all' & 'ungrouped'
* Update intro_inventory.rst
Minor grammatical edit.
This commit also adds a new test script (ansible-var-precedence-check.py in code-smell/)
to provide us with another line of defense against precedence bugs going forward.
The precedence docs state that the INI vars have a lower precedence than group/host
vars files for inventory and playbooks, however that has not been the case since 2.0
was released. This change fixes that in one way, though not exactly as the docs say.
The rules are:
1) INI/script < inventory dir < playbook dir
2) "all" group vars < other group_vars < host_vars
So the new order will be (from the test script mentioned above):
8. pb_host_vars_file - var in playbook/host_vars/host
9. ini_host_vars_file - var in inventory/host_vars/host
10. ini_host - host var inside the ini
11. pb_group_vars_file_child - var in playbook/group_vars/child
12. ini_group_vars_file_child - var in inventory/group_vars/child
13. pb_group_vars_file_parent - var in playbook/group_vars/parent
14. ini_group_vars_file_parent - var in inventory/group_vars/parent
15. pb_group_vars_file_all - var in playbook/group_vars/all
16. ini_group_vars_file_all - var in inventory/group_vars/all
17. ini_child - child group var inside the ini
18. ini_parent - parent group var inside the ini
19. ini_all - all group var inside the ini
Fixes#21845
