Parameter system for command plugins.

A `Param` instance can be used to describe an argument or option that a command
takes, or an attribute that a command returns.  The `Param` base class is not
used directly, but there are many subclasses for specific Python data types
(like `Str` or `Int`) and specific properties (like `Password`).

To create a `Param` instance, you must always provide the parameter *name*,
which should be the LDAP attribute name if the parameter describes the attribute
of an LDAP entry.  For example, we could create an `Str` instance describing the user's last-name attribute like this:

>>> from ipalib import Str
>>> sn = Str('sn')
>>> sn.name
'sn'

When creating a `Param`, there are also a number of optional kwargs which
which can provide additional meta-data and functionality.  For example, every
parameter has a *cli_name*, the name used on the command-line-interface.  By
default the *cli_name* is the same as the *name*:

>>> sn.cli_name
'sn'

But often the LDAP attribute name isn't user friendly for the command-line, so
you can override this with the *cli_name* kwarg:

>>> sn = Str('sn', cli_name='last')
>>> sn.name
'sn'
>>> sn.cli_name
'last'

Note that the RPC interfaces (and the internal processing pipeline) always use
the parameter *name*, regardless of what the *cli_name* might be.

A `Param` also has two translatable kwargs: *label* and *doc*.  These must both
be `Gettext` instances.  They both default to a place-holder `FixMe` instance,
a subclass of `Gettext` used to mark a missing translatable string:

>>> sn.label
FixMe('sn')
>>> sn.doc
FixMe('sn')

The *label* is a short phrase describing the parameter.  It's used on the CLI
when interactively prompting for values, and as a label for form inputs in the
web-UI.  The *label* should start with an initial capital.  For example:

>>> from ipalib import _
>>> sn = Str('sn',
...     cli_name='last',
...     label=_('Last name'),
... )
>>> sn.label
Gettext('Last name', domain='ipa', localedir=None)

The *doc* is a longer description of the parameter.  It's used on the CLI when
displaying the help information for a command, and as extra instruction for a
form input on the web-UI.  By default the *doc* is the same as the *label*:

>>> sn.doc
Gettext('Last name', domain='ipa', localedir=None)

But you can override this with the *doc* kwarg.  Like the *label*, the *doc*
should also start with an initial capital and should not end with any
punctuation.  For example:

>>> sn = Str('sn',
...     cli_name='last',
...     label=_('Last name'),
...     doc=_("The user's last name"),
... )
>>> sn.doc
Gettext("The user's last name", domain='ipa', localedir=None)

Demonstration aside, you should always provide at least the *label* so the
various UIs are translatable.  Only provide the *doc* if the parameter needs
a more detailed description for clarity.

class DefaultFrom(ReadOnly):
    """
    Derive a default value from other supplied values.

    For example, say you wanted to create a default for the user's login from
    the user's first and last names. It could be implemented like this:

    >>> login = DefaultFrom(lambda first, last: first[0] + last)
    >>> login(first='John', last='Doe')
    'JDoe'

    If you do not explicitly provide keys when you create a `DefaultFrom`
    instance, the keys are implicitly derived from your callback by
    inspecting ``callback.func_code.co_varnames``. The keys are available
    through the ``DefaultFrom.keys`` instance attribute, like this:

    >>> login.keys
    ('first', 'last')

    The callback is available through the ``DefaultFrom.callback`` instance
    attribute, like this:

    >>> login.callback  # doctest:+ELLIPSIS
    <function <lambda> at 0x...>
    >>> login.callback.func_code.co_varnames  # The keys
    ('first', 'last')

    The keys can be explicitly provided as optional positional arguments after
    the callback. For example, this is equivalent to the ``login`` instance
    above:

    >>> login2 = DefaultFrom(lambda a, b: a[0] + b, 'first', 'last')
    >>> login2.keys
    ('first', 'last')
    >>> login2.callback.func_code.co_varnames  # Not the keys
    ('a', 'b')
    >>> login2(first='John', last='Doe')
    'JDoe'

    If any keys are missing when calling your `DefaultFrom` instance, your
    callback is not called and ``None`` is returned.  For example:

    >>> login(first='John', lastname='Doe') is None
    True
    >>> login() is None
    True

    Any additional keys are simply ignored, like this:

    >>> login(last='Doe', first='John', middle='Whatever')
    'JDoe'

    As above, because `DefaultFrom.__call__` takes only pure keyword
    arguments, they can be supplied in any order.

    Of course, the callback need not be a ``lambda`` expression. This third
    example is equivalent to both the ``login`` and ``login2`` instances
    above:

    >>> def get_login(first, last):
    ...     return first[0] + last
    ...
    >>> login3 = DefaultFrom(get_login)
    >>> login3.keys
    ('first', 'last')
    >>> login3.callback.func_code.co_varnames
    ('first', 'last')
    >>> login3(first='John', last='Doe')
    'JDoe'

    Base class for all parameters.

    Param attributes:
    =================
    The behavior of Param class and subclasses can be controlled using the
    following set of attributes:

      - cli_name: option name in CLI
      - cli_short_name: one character version of cli_name
      - label: very short description of the parameter. This value is used in
        when the Command output is printed to CLI or in a Command help
      - doc: parameter long description used in help
      - required: the parameter is marked as required for given Command
      - multivalue: indicates if the attribute is multivalued
      - primary_key: Command's parameter primary key is used for unique
        identification of an LDAP object and for sorting
      - normalizer: a custom function for Param value normalization
      - default_from: a custom function for generating default values of
        parameter instance
      - autofill: by default, only `required` parameters get a default value
        from the default_from function. When autofill is enabled, optional
        attributes get the default value filled too
      - query: this attribute is controlled by framework. When the `query`
        is enabled, framework assumes that the value is only queried and not
        inserted in the LDAP. Validation is then relaxed - custom
        parameter validators are skipped and only basic class validators are
        executed to check the parameter value
      - attribute: this attribute is controlled by framework and enabled for
        all LDAP objects parameters (unless parameter has "virtual_attribute"
        flag). All parameters with enabled `attribute` are being encoded and
        placed to an entry passed to LDAP Create/Update calls
      - include: a list of contexts where this parameter should be included.
        `Param.use_in_context()` provides further information.
      - exclude: a list of contexts where this parameter should be excluded.
        `Param.use_in_context()` provides further information.
      - flags: there are several flags that can be used to further tune the
        parameter behavior:
            * no_display (Output parameters only): do not display the parameter
            * no_create: do not include the parameter for crud.Create based
              commands
            * no_update: do not include the parameter for crud.update based
              commands
            * no_option: this attribute is not displayed in the CLI, usually
              because there's a better way of setting it (for example, a
              separate command)
            * virtual_attribute: the parameter is not stored physically in the
              LDAP and thus attribute `attribute` is not enabled
            * suppress_empty (Output parameters only): do not display parameter
              value when empty
            * ask_create: CLI asks for parameter value even when the parameter
              is not `required`. Applied for all crud.Create based commands
            * ask_update: CLI asks for parameter value even when the parameter

            * req_update: The parameter is `required` in all crud.Update based
              commands
            * nonempty: This is an internal flag; a required attribute should
              be used instead of it.
              The value of this parameter must not be empty, but it may
              not be given at all. All crud.Update commands automatically
              convert required parameters to `nonempty` ones, so the value
              can be unspecified (unchanged) but cannot be deleted.

        True

        Lastly, multivalue parameters will always return a ``tuple`` (assuming

        >>> multi.convert([0, 1])  # Called with a list value

        Return the static default or construct and return a dynamic default.

        (In these examples, we will use the `Str` and `Bytes` classes, which
        both subclass from `Param`.)

        The *default* static default is ``None``.  For example:

        >>> s = Str('my_str')
        >>> s.default is None
        True
        >>> s.get_default() is None
        True

        However, you can provide your own static default via the ``default``
        keyword argument when you create your `Param` instance.  For example:

        >>> s = Str('my_str', default=u'My Static Default')
        >>> s.default
        u'My Static Default'
        >>> s.get_default()
        u'My Static Default'

        If you need to generate a dynamic default from other supplied parameter
        values, provide a callback via the ``default_from`` keyword argument.
        This callback will be automatically wrapped in a `DefaultFrom` instance
        if it isn't one already (see the `DefaultFrom` class for all the gory
        details).  For example:

        >>> login = Str('login', default=u'my-static-login-default',
        ...     default_from=lambda first, last: (first[0] + last).lower(),
        ... )
        >>> isinstance(login.default_from, DefaultFrom)
        True
        >>> login.default_from.keys
        ('first', 'last')

        Then when all the keys needed by the `DefaultFrom` instance are present,
        the dynamic default is constructed and returned.  For example:

        >>> kw = dict(last=u'Doe', first=u'John')
        >>> login.get_default(**kw)
        u'jdoe'

        Or if any keys are missing, your *static* default is returned.
        For example:

        >>> kw = dict(first=u'John', department=u'Engineering')
        >>> login.get_default(**kw)
        u'my-static-login-default'

    returned unchanged.  For example:

    >>> b = Bytes('cert')
    >>> create_param(b) is b
    True

    As a plugin author, you will not call this function directly (which would
    be no more convenient than simply creating the `Str` instance).  Instead,
    `frontend.Command` will call it for you when it evaluates the
    ``takes_args`` and ``takes_options`` attributes, and `frontend.Object`
    will call it for you when it evaluates the ``takes_params`` attribute.
