* Create base class for network-style connections
* clean up some differences
* Move NetworkConnectionBase
* Tweak netconf for tests
* Tweak when network_os is checked to avoid failing tests
* Pull back exec_command
python2-lxc module needs bytes, on the other hand python3-lxc requires text.
To solve such incompatibility, use to_native other than to_bytes.
This fixes#41060.

If we don't call loader to get network_cli, then _load_name is never
set and we get KeyError.
* Pull persistent_command_timeout via config manager for ios connection local
* Pull persistent_command_timeout via config manager on connection local
avoids some repetitive loading
- read config file only once
- now cache the ini parser per file
- optimize shell plugin loading
tried to 'optimize' vars_plugins loading but it creates issues with precedence,
probalby due to iterator not being reset, will look into it in subsequent fix/PR
* fixes issue when netconf would report ios is not supported
This change now will map ansible_network_os=ios to the correct netconf
plugin implementation. This will resolve an error where the netconf
connection plugin will report that ios is unsupported.
* Handle multiple sub prompts for network_cli connection
Fixes#35349
* Check if the same prompt is repeated in consecutive window
if it is repeated it indicates there is problem with answer
provided
* In that case report error to user
* Fix CI failure
* Fixes#35349
* Add prompt_retry count to control max number of times
to expect the same prompt before it error's out
* Make required changes in ios and eos terminal plugin to handle
wrong enable password correctly and return proper error
message to user.
* Check if the same prompt is repeated in consecutive window
if it is repeated it indicates there is the problem with an answer
provided
* In that case report error to user
* Fix debug logs failing with persistent connection
Fixes#33047
* As debug logs are written on stdout, it interrupts
the communication between ansible-connection(background)
process and main process. To avoid this add a string similar
to exactly identify the response string.
* Remove unwanted code in ansible-connection
* Fix review comments
* Fix spurious log emitted on ansible-connection stdout issue
* ansible-connection which runs as a background process sends a
json string (contains response received from remote device)
to foreground ansible-playbook process over stdout.
* If in case debug flag is enabled the connection_loader api
invoked from ansible-connection `ssh = connection_loader.get('ssh', class_only=True)`
results in emitting debug logs on stdout. This spurious log
interfere with the actual response and results in failure while
reading json string in ansible-playbook process
* To avoid this save stdout of ansible-connection and redirect it string
buffer to accumulate all the logs emitted by core API's
* Add these logs in `result['messages']` which is send a json string after reinstating saved stdout
* Remove unwanted code in ansible-connection
* Fix review comment
* adds support for using connection=netconf
This change updates the module to provide support for using
connection=netconf instead of connection=local. If connection=netconf
is used, then the various connection arguments will be silently ignored.
* adds netconf plugin default
This adds a default implementation for netconf plugins if the network_os
is not specified. The default plugin will implement only the standard
netconf rpcs
* fix up pep8 issues
* Look for password prompts at the beginning of the line only
* Adds secondary checks for the supplied sub-prompts
Handles the case for enable prompts where enable_pass may be incorrect
and the deivce is still prompting for the password
