* 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
A number of coding conventions have been adopted for new F5 modules
that are in development. To ensure common usage across the modules,
this module needed to be updated to reflect those conventions.
No functional code changes were made.

The external_ids 'type' was not defined in the argument spec of
openvswitch_bridge. This caused 'external_ids' to be converted to a
string leading to an error when later calling exp_external_ids.items().

This patch adds support for the server_port module. It
additionally updates the documentation in the module for
it.
The changes were tested in the f5-ansible repository to
ensure no breaking changes were made. This argument allows
modules to be used on BIG-IPs that are listening on
non-standard ports.
The external_ids 'type' was not defined in the argument spec of
openvswitch_port. This lead 'external_ids' to be converted to a
string, when the value was not defined. Further down the code this
was leading to an exception in some cases. By defining the type
all is right.
Instead of doing an unpack, deliberately specify which parameters you
want to use. This allows us to flexibly add more parameters to the
f5_argument_spec without having to rewrite all the modules that use
it.
Functionally this commit changes nothing, it just provides for a
different way of accessing the parameters to the module
As is done in other ansible modules, this adds the __main__ check
to the module so that the module code itself can be used as a library.
For instance, when testing the code.
The bigip_api method was changed in the module_utils function definition
to include the validate_certs option but the bigip_virtual_server module
was not updated accordingly. This patch updates the method so that the
error message below is not returned to the user
received exception: bigip_api() takes exactly 4 arguments (3 given)
