New host management module

There is a new user management module placed in the plugins folder:

  plugins/modules/ipauser.py

The host module allows to add, remove and disable hosts.

The host module is as compatible as possible to the Ansible upstream
ipa_host` module, but addtionally offers to disable hosts.

Here is the documentation for the module:

  README-host.md

New example playbooks have been added:

  playbooks/host/add-host.yml
  playbooks/host/delete-host.yml
  playbooks/host/disable-host.yml

become: true
tasks:
# Ensure host is present
- ipahost:
ipaadmin_password: MyPassword123
name: host01.example.com
description: Example host
ip_address: 192.168.0.123
locality: Lab
ns_host_location: Lab
ns_os_version: CentOS 7
ns_hardware_platform: Lenovo T61
mac_address:
- "08:00:27:E3:B1:2D"
- "52:54:00:BD:97:1E"
state: present
```
Example playbook to create host without DNS:
```yaml
---
- name: Playbook to handle hosts
hosts: ipaserver
become: true
tasks:
# Ensure host is present without DNS
- ipahost:
ipaadmin_password: MyPassword123
name: host02.example.com
description: Example host
force: yes
```
Example playbook to initiate the generation of a random password to be used in bulk enrollment:
```yaml
---
- name: Playbook to handle hosts
hosts: ipaserver
become: true
tasks:
# Generate a random password for bulk enrolment
- ipahost:
ipaadmin_password: MyPassword123
name: host01.example.com

hosts: ipaserver
become: true
tasks:
# Ensure host is disabled

`update_dns` controls if the DNS entries will be updated.
