new features
* ios now supports transport=restcon will additional arguments
* ModuleStub refactored into common network shared module
* import temporary get_module() function (to be removed prior to 2.2 final)
This is a temporary change to keep the get_module() function until all
of the network module refactoring is completed to avoid breaking them
in devel. The get_module() function should not be used and will be
removed before 2.2 final.
* Update IOS with new NetworkModule
* Remove redundant EOS code
* `authorize` can get rolled into NetCli
* Fix up IOS to where EOS is.
* Update IOSXR for NetworkModule
* collections is unnecessary

* refactors load_config into load_candidate
* adds load_config function to convert commands to NetworkConfig
The Command object can now store the response from executing the command
to allow it to be retrieved later by command name. This update will
update the Command instance with the response before returning.
This adds a new method that will return the output from a specified
command that has already been excuted by the CommandRunner. The new
method, get_command takes a single argument which is the full name
of the command to retrieve.
* add new module network
* move EOS to NetworkModule
* shell.py Python 3.x compatibility
* implements the Command class through the connection for eos
This implements a new Command class that specifies the cli command
and output format. This removes the need to batch commands through
the connection
* initial add of netcmd module
When the PYTHONPATH is an empty string python will treat it as though
the cwd is in the PYTHONPATH. This can be undesirable. So make sure we
delete PYTHONPATH from the environment altgether in this case.
Fixes#16195
The junos network module will now properly use the ssh key file if its
passed from the playbook to authenticate to the remote device. Prior
to this commit, the ssh keyfile was ignored.
