Will Thames 4bfed06514 Make ModuleArgsParser more understandable (#13974)
* Make ModuleArgsParser more understandable

Both comments and method names for handling new/old
style parameters are switched around

Made comments and method names reflect actual code paths
taken.

* Further improve mod_args.py comments

Ensure output formats are correctly documented,
remove some of the 'opinion' about which formats are
valid, and try and clarify the situations under which
certain code paths are hit.

Stop talking about the YAML command-type form as 'extra
gross' when it's the documented example form for command
etc.!

There are several ways a module and argument set can be expressed:
# legacy form (for a shell command)
- action: shell echo hi
# common shorthand for local actions vs delegate_to
- local_action: shell echo hi
# most commonly:
- copy: src=a dest=b
# legacy form
- action: copy src=a dest=b
# complex args form, for passing structured data
- copy:
src: a
dest: b
# gross, but technically legal
- action:
module: copy
args:
src: a
dest: b
# Standard YAML form for command-type modules. In this case, the args specified
# will act as 'defaults' and will be overridden by any args specified
# in one of the other formats (complex args under the action, or
# parsed from the k=v string
- command: 'pwd'
args:
chdir: '/tmp'
This class has some of the logic to canonicalize these into the form
- module: <module_name>
delegate_to: <optional>
args: <args>
Args may also be munged for certain shell command parameters.
