wakeonlan: New module to send out magic WOL packets (#2271)

* New module wakeonlan to send out magic WOL packets

For a local project managing desktop Windows systems at an elementary school, we want to send out wake-on-lan packets to all systems before continuing using Ansible.

That is the purpose of this module.

PS We can make this module idempotent by implementing arping support using scapy. At some point I may add this, at this time I simply plan on using wait_for to check if the system is online.

* Improved documentation and notes

* Improve the documentation a bit

* Fix Travis warnings and review remarks

* Fix exception handling to support both python2 and python3

* Documentation changes

module: wakeonlan
version_added: 2.2
short_description: Send a magic Wake-on-LAN (WoL) broadcast packet
description:
- The M(wakeonlan) module sends magic Wake-on-LAN (WoL) broadcast packets.
options:
mac:
description:
- MAC address to send Wake-on-LAN broadcast packet for
required: true
default: null
broadcast:
description:
- Network broadcast address to use for broadcasting magic Wake-on-LAN packet
required: false
default: 255.255.255.255
port:
description:
- UDP port to use for magic Wake-on-LAN packet
required: false
default: 7
author: "Dag Wieers (@dagwieers)"
todo:
- Add arping support to check whether the system is up (before and after)
- Enable check-mode support (when we have arping support)
- Does not have SecureOn password support
notes:
- This module sends a magic packet, without knowing whether it worked
- Only works if the target system was properly configured for Wake-on-LAN (in the BIOS and/or the OS)
- Some BIOSes have a different (configurable) Wake-on-LAN boot order (i.e. PXE first) when turned off
