The patterns "all" is a special keyword that target all hosts in the
inventory. Therefore it makes sense to accept "all:vars" as a group
variable name. Note that "*:vars" pattern is not valid in an Ansible
inventory.

This commit aligns how the file provisioner should work on all host
machines. It ensures that a `/.` is only applied if the user intended
to upload a folder to a destination under a different name. It ensures
that if uploading to a windows guest with a different destination folder
name, it does not nest the source folder under that name so that it
works the same as it does on linux platforms. It also updates the
behavior of the winrm upload communicator by allowing an array of paths
to be uploaded instead of a single file or folder to allow for this new
functionality for windows guests.
This commit introduces the salt_arg option that allows a user to pass
additional command line flags to the `salt` tool when provisioning with
a master setup.
It also adds additional config validation to ensure that both
`salt_args` and `salt_call_args` is an array.
Prior to this commit, a change to how the IdentityFile setting for the
ssh command broke when a path with a space was used. This commit fixes
that by quoting the path used to set the IdentityFile so that it uses
the full path instead of part of the path after the space.
Prior to this commit, if the ssh-config command was invoked within
cygwin or msys2, it would show a regular windows style path for private
keys rather than a path that could be used within msys2 or cygwin. This
commit updates that behavior by converting all of the private key paths
to the proper msys2 or cygwin path if the platform is windows and the
command was invoked from one of those two shells.
Prior to this commit, when the guest capability attempted to expand a
path with spaces it would quote the path passed in. However if the path
also had a relative path those quotes would end up making `printf`
ignore it and not properly expand the path fully. This commit updates
that to first escape the quotes of a path and then pass in the new path
to be expanded.
Prior to this commit, when using a global id to bring up a vagrant vm,
vagrant would fail during the "install provider" step due to the fact
that the global vagrant machine was not configured for the local vagrant
environment. Since this global vm exists elsewhere, we disable the
install provider step so that vagrant can just bring up the global
vagrant machine.
