ansible-core: updated to 2.13.1

v2.13.1
=======

Minor Changes
-------------

- Add an 'action_plugin' field for modules in runtime.yml plugin_routing.

  This fixes module_defaults by supporting modules-as-redirected-actions
  without redirecting module_defaults entries to the common action.

  .. code: yaml

     plugin_routing:
       action:
         facts:
           redirect: ns.coll.eos
         command:
           redirect: ns.coll.eos
       modules:
         facts:
           redirect: ns.coll.eos_facts
         command:
           redirect: ns.coll.eos_command

  With the runtime.yml above for ns.coll, a task such as

  .. code: yaml

     - hosts: all
       module_defaults:
         ns.coll.eos_facts: {'valid_for_eos_facts': 'value'}
         ns.coll.eos_command: {'not_valid_for_eos_facts': 'value'}
       tasks:
         - ns.coll.facts:

  will end up with defaults for eos_facts and eos_command
  since both modules redirect to the same action.

  To select an action plugin for a module without merging
  module_defaults, define an action_plugin field for the resolved
  module in the runtime.yml.

  .. code: yaml

     plugin_routing:
       modules:
         facts:
           redirect: ns.coll.eos_facts
           action_plugin: ns.coll.eos
         command:
           redirect: ns.coll.eos_command
           action_plugin: ns.coll.eos

  The action_plugin field can be a redirected action plugin, as
  it is resolved normally.

  Using the modified runtime.yml, the example task will only use
  the ns.coll.eos_facts defaults.
- ansible-galaxy - Support resolvelib versions 0.6.x, 0.7.x, and 0.8.x. The full range of supported versions is now >= 0.5.3, < 0.9.0.
- ansible-test - Add RHEL 9.0 remote support.
- ansible-test - Add support for Ubuntu VMs using the ``--remote`` option.
- ansible-test - Add support for exporting inventory with ``ansible-test shell --export {path}``.
- ansible-test - Add support for multi-arch remotes.
- ansible-test - Add support for running non-interactive commands with ``ansible-test shell``.
- ansible-test - Avoid using the ``mock_use_standalone_module`` setting for unit tests running on Python 3.8 or later.
- ansible-test - Blocking mode is now enforced for stdin, stdout and stderr. If any of these are non-blocking then ansible-test will exit during startup with an error.
- ansible-test - Improve consistency of output messages by using stdout or stderr for most output, but not both.
- ansible-test - The ``shell`` command can be used outside a collection if no controller delegation is required.

Bugfixes
--------

- Add PyYAML >= 5.1 as a dependency of ansible-core to be compatible with Python 3.8+.
- ansible-config dump - Only display plugin type headers when plugin options are changed if --only-changed is specified.
- ansible-galaxy - handle unsupported versions of resolvelib gracefully.
- ansible-test - Fix internal validation of remote completion configuration.
- ansible-test - Prevent ``--target-`` prefixed options for the ``shell`` command from being combined with legacy environment options.
- ansible-test - Sanity test output with the ``--lint`` option is no longer mixed in with bootstrapping output.
- ansible-test - Subprocesses are now isolated from the stdin, stdout and stderr of ansible-test. This avoids issues with subprocesses tampering with the file descriptors, such as SSH making them non-blocking. As a result of this change, subprocess output from unit and integration tests on stderr now go to stdout.
- ansible-test - Subprocesses no longer have access to the TTY ansible-test is connected to, if any. This maintains consistent behavior between local testing and CI systems, which typically do not provide a TTY. Tests which require a TTY should use pexpect or another mechanism to create a PTY.
- apt module now correctly handles virtual packages.
- lookup plugin - catch KeyError when lookup returns dictionary (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/pull/77789).
- pip - fix cases where resolution of pip Python module fails when importlib.util has not already been imported
- plugin loader - Sort results when fuzzy matching plugin names (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/77966).
- plugin loader will now load config data for plugin by name instead of by file to avoid issues with the same file being loaded under different names (fqcn + short name).
- psrp connection now handles default to inventory_hostname correctly.
- winrm connection now handles default to inventory_hostname correctly.
