Mike Aldred aeb8d3f656 pfexec become plugin: fix broken defaults for illumos/SmartOS (#11623)
* pfexec become plugin: fix broken defaults for illumos/SmartOS

The pfexec become plugin has had incorrect defaults since it was
migrated from Ansible core, making it unusable on illumos without
manual workarounds:

1. become_flags defaulted to '-H -S -n' which are sudo flags.
   pfexec does not accept any of these options, causing:
   'exec: illegal option -- H'

2. wrap_exe defaulted to false. Unlike sudo, pfexec does not
   interpret shell constructs internally. Since Ansible generates
   compound commands (echo BECOME-SUCCESS-xxx ; python3), these
   must be wrapped in /bin/sh -c for pfexec to execute them.

These issues were originally reported in 2016 (ansible/ansible#15642),
migrated to community.general as #3671, and partially fixed by PR #3889
in 2022 (which corrected quoting but not the defaults). Users have had
to work around this with explicit inventory settings ever since.

Changes:
- become_flags default: '-H -S -n' -> '' (empty)
- wrap_exe default: false -> true
- build_become_command: handle empty flags cleanly
- Updated tests to match corrected defaults
- Added test for custom flags
- Improved wrap_exe description to explain why it should be enabled

* Update changelog fragment with PR number

* Fix ruff formatting in test_pfexec.py

* Address review feedback from russoz

Remove redundant 'should generally be left enabled' description line
and simplify become command return by removing unnecessary flags
conditional.

* Fix unit test regexes for empty default flags

Match double space in test assertions when become_flags defaults to
empty string, consistent with doas, dzdo, and pbrun test patterns.

* pfexec become plugin: deprecate wrap_exe default rather than flipping

Changing the wrap_exe default from false to true is a breaking change
for the narrow case (e.g. ansible.builtin.raw) where the current default
does work, so deprecate instead: remove the default, emit a deprecation
warning when the option is unset, and treat that as false for now.

Build the become command with " ".join() so an empty become_flags no
longer produces a stray double space.

Tests set wrap_exe explicitly so the deprecation warning does not fire
during unit runs.

* pfexec become plugin: target 14.0.0 for wrap_exe deprecation

Per felixfontein's review, switch the deprecation target for the wrap_exe
default from community.general 15.0.0 to 14.0.0, and reword the option
description to mark the current default as deprecated rather than just
"changing in a future release".
