[RFE] Allow multiple groups creation.

Adding an option `groups` to create multiple groups in one operation.
Adding tests (present/absent/external/nonposix) with server and
client context.
Simple example of `groups` option:
```
tasks:
- name: Ensure 2 groups are present
  ipagroup:
    ipaadmin_password: SomeADMINpassword
    groups:
    - name: group1
    - name: group2
```

The group module is as compatible as possible to the Ansible upstream `ipa_group` module, but additionally offers to add users to a group and also to remove users from a group.
## Note
Ensuring presence (adding) of several groups with mixed types (`external`, `nonposix` and `posix`) requires a fix in FreeIPA. The module implements a workaround to automatically use `client` context if the fix is not present in the target node FreeIPA and if more than one group is provided to the task using the `groups` parameter. If `ipaapi_context` is forced to be `server`, the module will fail in this case.

These three `ipagroup` module calls can be combined into one with the `groups` variable:
```yaml
---
- name: Playbook to handle groups
hosts: ipaserver
tasks:
- name: Ensure groups ops, sysops and appops are present
ipagroup:
ipaadmin_password: SomeADMINpassword
groups:
- name: ops
gidnumber: 1234
- name: sysops
user:
- pinky
- name: appops
```
You can also alternatively use a json file containing the groups, here `groups_present.json`:
```json
{
"groups": [
{
"name": "group1",
"description": "description group1"
},
{
"name": "group2",
"description": "description group2"
}
]
}
```
And ensure the presence of the groups with this example playbook:
```yaml
---
- name: Tests
hosts: ipaserver
gather_facts: false
tasks:
- name: Include groups_present.json
include_vars:
file: groups_present.json
- name: Groups present
