patchback[bot] fa179e6d0c [PR #11694/180da98a backport][stable-12] ipa_dnsrecord: add exclusive parameter for append-without-replace semantics (#11885)
ipa_dnsrecord: add `exclusive` parameter for append-without-replace semantics (#11694)

* ipa_dnsrecord: add solo parameter for append-without-replace semantics

Fixes #682

Adds O(solo) boolean parameter (default true, preserving current
replace behaviour) consistent with other DNS modules such as
community.general.dnsimple. When solo=false, only values not
already present in IPA are added, leaving existing values untouched.



* ipa_dnsrecord: rename solo parameter to exclusive

Rename O(solo) to O(exclusive) following reviewer feedback.
'exclusive' is the established Ansible convention for this semantic
(e.g. community.general.ini_file), while 'solo' implies single-value
DNS records.



* ipa_dnsrecord: fix changelog fragment symbol markup

Use double backticks per RST convention in changelog fragments,
not the O() macro (which is for module docstrings).



* Update plugins/modules/ipa_dnsrecord.py



* ipa_dnsrecord: implement exclusive semantics for state=absent

- exclusive=true + state=absent: remove all existing values of that
  record type and name, ignoring the specified record_value(s)
- exclusive=false + state=absent: remove only the specified values
  that actually exist in IPA, preserving all others

Also updates the exclusive parameter documentation to cover both
state=present and state=absent behaviour.
