parted: add unit_preserve_case option to fix unit case in return value (#11813)
* parted: add unit_preserve_case option to fix unit case in return value
Adds O(unit_preserve_case) feature flag (bool, default None) to control
the case of the ``unit`` field in the module return value.
Previously the unit was always lowercased (e.g. ``kib``), making it
impossible to feed ``disk.unit`` back as the ``unit`` parameter without
a validation error. With O(unit_preserve_case=true) the unit is returned
in its original mixed case (e.g. ``KiB``), matching the accepted input
values.
The default (None) emits a deprecation notice; the default will become
V(true) in community.general 14.0.0.
Fixes#1860
* parted: add changelog fragment for PR #11813
* adjustments from review
* Comment 15.0.0 deprecation in option decription.
* parted: fix unit test calls to parse_partition_info after signature change
* parted: fix unit_preserve_case - parted outputs lowercase units in machine mode
Parted's machine-parseable output always uses lowercase unit suffixes
(e.g. ``kib``, ``mib``) regardless of what was passed to the ``unit``
parameter. Removing the explicit ``.lower()`` call was therefore not
enough to preserve case.
Add a ``canonical_unit()`` helper that maps a unit string to its canonical
mixed-case form using ``parted_units`` as the reference, and use it
instead of a bare identity when ``unit_preserve_case=true``.
Also fix a yamllint violation in the DOCUMENTATION block (missing space
after ``#`` in inline comments).
* Update plugins/modules/parted.py
