When running the tests that can be executed either on server or client
context, without defining 'ipa_context', the context is automatically
identified.
Currently, the tests in upstream CI run only on a server, and the
context is identified as "server" context, and in order to run the test
using a client context 'ipa_context' must be set to 'client'.
This patch fixes all the client context tests by correctly setting
ipa_context when running the client context tests in a server host.
Update config README file and add tests for executing plugin with
`ipaapi_context` set to `client`.
A new test playbook can be found at:
tests/config/test_config_client_context.yml
The new test file can be executed in a FreeIPA client host that is
not a server. In this case, it should be defined in the `ipaclients`
group, in the inventory file.
As the tests for ipaconfig may render the server in an inconsistent
state if they fail, the tests in tests/config/test_config.yml were
wrapped in a way that if one test fails, the default FreeIPA
configuration is restored to the server.
Currently, if a test fails during execution of ipaconfig playbook
tests, or if the failed task is the task reverting to the original
configuration fails, the testing host might be left in a state that
may cause other tests to fail due to the inconsistent configuration
state.
This patch ensures that if a test fails, a known configuration, the
same as used is the default installation of FreeIPA used in upstream
CI, is applied to the host, providing safe environment for testing.
The config attributte maxhostname is only available after IPA
version 4.8.0. The tests for this attribute are now protected to
not run if a previous IPA version is found.
This patch add support for the attributes `maxtostname` and
`ca_renewal_master_server` attributes that were missing and
also provide a more complete set of tests.

The config module allows the user change global config settings.
The config module is as compatible as possible to the Ansible upstream
ipa_config module, but adds many extra variables.
Here is the documentation for the module:
