Allow security tokens and profiles to be used as arguments
to the 'common' ec2 modules
Mostly refactoring to provide two new methods,
`get_aws_connection_info`, which results in a dict that can be
passed through to the boto `connect_to_region` calls, and
`connect_to_aws` that can pass that dict through to the
`connect_to_region` method of the appropriate module.
Tidied up some variable names
Works around boto/boto#2100
profiles don't work with boto < 2.24, but this detects for that
and fails with an appropriate message. It is designed to work
if profile is not passed but boto < 2.24 is installed.
Modifications to allow empty aws auth variables to be passed
(this is useful if wanting to have the keys as an optional
parameter in ec2 calls - if set, use this value, if not set,
use boto config or env variables)
Reworked validate_certs improvements to work with refactoring
Added documentation for profile and security_token to affected modules
This can happen if the server has a NICKLEN setting which is less
than the length of the specified nick. With this patch we now grab
that nick and use it moving forward, instead of failing because we
didn't get back the one we specified, in the connection response.
In order to simplify the workflow with the GCE modules, it's now
possible to add the parameters and project name as arguments to the
various GCE modules.
The inventory plugin also returns the IP of the host in
`ansible_ssh_host` so that you don't have to specify IPs into the
inventory file.
Some update to the documentation are also added.
Closes#5583.

NameError: global name 'exc' is not defined
When there is an Openstack instance that has a name that's a partial match
for module.params['name'], but a server with name module.params['name']
doesn't yet exist, this module would fail with a list index out of bounds
error. This fixes that by filtering by exact name and only then getting the
server from the list if the list is still not empty.
