Bugfixes

• -------
  
• Fix lxd module to be idempotent when the given configuration for the lxd
  container has not changed (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/pull/38166)
  
• Fix setting value type to str to avoid conversion during template read.
  Fix Idempotency in case of 'no key'.
  
• Fix the mount module's handling of swap entries in fstab
  (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/pull/42837)
  
• The fix for `CVE-2018-10875
  `_ prints out a
  warning message about skipping a config file from a world writable current
  working directory. However, if the user explicitly specifies that the
  config file should be used via the ANSIBLE_CONFIG environment variable then
  Ansible would honor that but still print out the warning message. This has
  been fixed so that Ansible honors the user's explicit wishes and does not
  print a warning message in that circumstance.
  
• To fix the bug where existing host_record was deleted when existing
  record name is used with different IP.
  (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/pull/43235)
  
• VMware handle pnic in proxyswitch
  (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/pull/42996)
  
• fix azure security group cannot add rules when purge_rule set to false.

• fix azure_rm_deployment collect tags from existing Resource Group.
  (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/pull/26104)
  
• fix azure_rm_loadbalancer_facts list takes at least 2 arguments.
  (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/pull/29050)
  
• fix for the bundled selectors module (used in the ssh and local
  connection plugins) when a syscall is restarted after being interrupted by
  a signal (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/41630)
  
• get_url - fix the bug that get_url does not change mode when checksum
  matches (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/29614)
  
• nicer error when multiprocessing breaks
  https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/43090
  
• openssl_certificate - Convert valid_date to bytes for conversion
  
• openstack_inventory.py dynamic inventory file fixed the plugin to the
  script so that it will work with current ansible-inventory. Also redirect
  stdout before dumping the ouptput, because not doing so will cause JSON
  parse errors in some cases. (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/pull/43432)
  
• slack callback - Fix invocation by looking up data from cli.options
  (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/pull/43542)
  
• sysvinit module: handle values of optional parameters
  (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/pull/42786). Don't disable service when
  `enabled` parameter isn't set. Fix command when `arguments` parameter isn't
  set.
  
• vars_prompt - properly template play level variables in vars_prompt
  (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/37984)
  
• win_domain - ensure the Netlogon service is up and running after
  promoting host to controller -
