* add tests for fail filter
also tests that fail does not block inspectability
* add fail filter
fallback message is a bit clunky,
since you can't invoke a filter without specifying an input.
That is, "{{ fail }}" doesn't work,
so you have to do "{{ None | fail }}"
* document 'fail' filter
* add changelog fragment
* fail filter uses default message on Undefined or emptystring
makes it slightly easier to use the default message:
```diff
- "{{ None | fail }}"
+ "{{ '' | fail }}"
```
and the user sees a slightly more relevant message
if the message itself is undefined:
```diff
- The error was: {{ failmsg | fail }}: 'failmsg' is undefined
+ The error was: {{ failmsg | fail }}: Mandatory variable has not been overridden
```
* rebuild as the builtin `Undefined`
* harmonise `hint` parameter for make_undefined with jinja
* use code block for documentation item

* rename to `undef` to expose less Python into the Jinja
[ref](https://github.com/ansible/ansible/pull/75435#pullrequestreview-757799031)
* explicitly instantiate undefined value now that it's possible
see I knew we would break something with reflection
* preserve test coverage of undefined variable
