* clean up functions and remove unneeded code
* config difference now includes keyword argument
* module reports changed when save argument is yes with or without check_mode
* updated fail_json return with exc kwargs
* fixed up import statements
* fixes issues with import error
* removes need for filter attribute in Cli instance
* now filters config either from device or provided via config argument
ref: #2890
This bug was introduced accidentally when refactoring to 2.2. The instance
of the candidate config was deleted. This adds the candidate config
instance back

Adds bigip_ssl_certificate module
This module is another in the ongoing "bootstrapping saga" that is
being undertaken. With this module you can manage the lifecycle of
the SSL certificates on a BIG-IP. This includes those used for
SSL offloading.
Tests for this module can be found here
https://github.com/F5Networks/f5-ansible/blob/master/roles/__bigip_ssl_certificate/tasks/main.yaml
Platforms this was tested on are
12.0.0
12.1.0
* commands argument now accepts a dict arguments
* only show commands are allowd when check mode is specified
* config mode is no longer allowed in the command stack
* add argument match with valid values any, all
* removes get_module() factory method for NetworkModule
* add src argument to provide path to config file
* add new choice to match used to ignore current running config
* add update argument with choices merge or check
* add backup argument to backup current running config to control host
* add defaults argument to control collection of config with or withoutdefaults
* add save argument to save current running config to startup config
Recently, a user reported that the bigip_facts module was failing with the error
received exception: object of type 'itertools.imap' has no len()
This reported was occurring at line 1657 of the bigip_facts module
bug report is here
https://github.com/F5Networks/f5-ansible/issues/25
Upon further investigation, the map function for returning the specified
includes was returning an iterator, and calling len() on an iterator does
not work.
I believe this problem was caused by part of the Python 3.x effort insofar
as the inclusion of this line
https://github.com/ansible/ansible/blob/devel/lib/ansible/module_utils/basic.py#L143
seems to affect our usage of map(), probably for the better anyway, and we need
to change our expectations in our module's code to no longer assume a list, but
instead assume an iterator.
After trawling through the module_utils/basic code, I think a list
comprehension is more appropriate here anyway, so I'm changing it to be
that. The affected user reported it works this way, and my own testing
on 2.2.0 supports that.
This parameter can be used to open up access to (among other things)
the mgmt address of a BIG-IP. It is necessary for configuring bigips
in an HA configuration.
This module can be used to maintain the iRules for both LTM and GTM
on a BIG-IP. iRules should be supplied in their string form using
normal strings (unlikely), file lookups (likely), or template
lookups (likely).

* Changed type of 'details' argument to bool on ecs_service_facts module.
* Changed type of 'autostart' argument to bool on virt_* modules.
* Changed types of 'autoconnect' and 'stp' argument to bool on nmcli module.
('create_connection_bridge(self)' and 'modify_connection_bridge(self)' are not implemented yet?)
* Added conversion of 'value' argument when 'vtype' is boolean on debconf module.
This module can be used to manipulate data centers in a BIG-IP.
It supports both the iControl SOAP and iControl REST APIs, but default
to the REST API. With this module, you can perform operations similar
to those available in tmsh to create data centers and set the contact,
location, and description of those data centers.
This module is most useful in the initial provisioning of a BIG-IP
This module can be used to directly manipulate the system database
variables in a BIG-IP. It supports both the iControl SOAP and iControl
REST APIs, but default to the REST API. With this module, you can
perform operations similar to those available in tmsh to set system
variables such as turning off the default setup screen.

This module can be used to manage VLANs in BIG-IP on various software
versions. It is part of a bootstrapping effort underway to provide
modules necessary to bootstrap core settings in a BIG-IP.

A number of coding conventions have been adopted for new F5 modules

this module needed to be updated to reflect those conventions.

Additionally, this patch fixes a couple bugs in the module that were
preventing it from being idempotent.

* 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
