The use-case here is that based on information in the /proc/cmdline certain actions can be taken.

A practical example in our case is that we have a play at the end of the provisioning phase that reboots the system. Since we don't want to accidentally reboot a system (or restart the network) on a production machine, having a way to separate an Anaconda post-install (sshd in chroot) with a normal system is a good way to make that distinction.

    ---
    - name: reboot
      hosts: all
      tasks:
      - action: command init 6
        only_if: "not '${ansible_cmdline.BOOT_IMAGE}'.startswith('$')"

A practical problem here is the fact that we cannot simply check whether it is set or empty:

    ---
    - name: reboot
      hosts: all
      tasks:
      - action: command init 6
        only_if: "'${ansible_cmdline.BOOT_IMAGE}'"

If ansible_cmdline was a string, a simple only_if: "'${ansible_cmdline}'.find(' BOOT_IMAGE=')" was an option, but still not very "beautiful" :-/

This implementation uses shlex.split() and uses split(sep, maxsplit=1).

Use `get_bin_path` properly for supervisorctl module

Keep result pristine for ignore_errors

Allow ~ expansion in chdir argument of command module

This allows the use of ~ in the chdir argument of the command module
I know the later change is absolutely necessary as the first change
was not sufficient. It may be that the first change fixes shell and
the second fixes command.

Subversion dest should allow ~ expansion

Used os.path.expanduser on dest to allow e.g. ~/svn/repo as
a destination

Jinja2 filter from_json added, to_json renamed

Improve apt_repository and supervisorctl

Add seboolean module

add selinux module

Added required as optional argument to get_bin_path(). It defaults to
false.  Updated following modules to use required=True when calling
get_bin_path():  apt_repository, easy_install, group, pip,
supervisorctl, and user.
Also removed _find_supervisorctl() from supervisorctl module and updated
_is_running() to not need it.

Will manage values of seboolean on a host.  Options are name (name of
boolean), state (on or off), and persistent (on or off).  Persistent
defaults to no.

* Migraed easy_install, pip, service, setup, and user.
* Updated fail_json message in apt_repository
* Fixed easy_install to not hardcode location of virtualenv in
  /usr/local/bin/.
* Made handling of virtualenv more consistent between easy_install and
  pip.

The optional list is prepended to PATH.
Fix get_bin_path() to use os.path.join().

This is meant to assist all the modules that look for the full path of
an executable.  If it is found and is X_OK, returns the full path.
Otherwise, it returns None.
