Sam Doran e65045f51f Add echo option to pause module (#32205)
* Enable ECHO in prompt module

Fixes #14160

* Add option for controlling echo behavior with pause module

* Improve option logic

Allow all options to be used in varying combinations, rather than being mutually exclusive.
Always capture output and return it, even when a time limit is set.

* Add version_added to docs

* Improve behavior of echo output

Set a few more flags to allow interactive deletion and hide control characters.
Do not capture or echo input when a time is set. Tried to get this working nicely, but ran into too many issues/oddities to keep it. Maybe in the future if there is demand for capturing/echoing input when a time is set I'll take another pass at it.

module: pause
short_description: Pause playbook execution
description:
- Pauses playbook execution for a set amount of time, or until a prompt is acknowledged.
All parameters are optional. The default behavior is to pause with a prompt.
- To pause/wait/sleep per host, use the M(wait_for) module.
- You can use C(ctrl+c) if you wish to advance a pause earlier than it is set to expire or if you need to abort a playbook run entirely.
To continue early press C(ctrl+c) and then C(c). To abort a playbook press C(ctrl+c) and then C(a).
- The pause module integrates into async/parallelized playbooks without any special considerations (see Rolling Updates).
When using pauses with the C(serial) playbook parameter (as in rolling updates) you are only prompted once for the current group of hosts.
- This module is also supported for Windows targets.

- User input is not captured or echoed, regardless of echo setting, when minutes or seconds is specified.
