FreeIPA 4.8.7 introduced an option to rename an existing hostgroup.
This patch adds support for renaming hostgroups if the option is
available on installed IPA version.
A new state `renamed` and a new option `rename` (alias: `new_name`)
was added to module `ipahostgroup` to allow renaming of host groups.
The implemented behavior is:
* Rename if `name` exists and `rename` doesn't.
* Do nothing if `name` does not exist and `rename` does, or if
`name` equals to `rename`. (result.changed is False)
* Fail if neither or both `name` and `rename` exist.
If a unknown membermanager user presence will be ensured, the unknown user
error was ignored. This has been fixed in ipagroup. The code for the error
handling in ipagroup and ipahostgroup has been adapted because of this.
New tests for tests/[host]group/test_[host]group_membermnager.yml have been
added.
A group membership manager is a user or a group that can add members to
a group or remove members from a hostgroup.

New parameters have been added to the module:
- `membermanager_user`: List of member manager users assigned to this
group. Only usable with IPA versions 4.8.4 and up.
- `membermanager_group`: List of member manager groups assigned to this
group. Only usable with IPA versions 4.8.4 and up.
These parameters behave like member parameters.
A new test has been added:
- tests/hostgroup/test_hostgroup_membermanager.yml
Because of a missing check member attributes (for use with action: member)
are cleared when a non-member attribute is changed. The fix simply adds a
check for None (parameter not set) to gen_add_del_lists in
ansible_freeipa_module to make sure that the parameter is only changed if
it should be changed.
All places where the add and removal lists have been generated manually
have been changed to also use gen_add_del_lists.
Resolves: #252 (The "Manager" attribute is removed when updating any user
attribute)
The changed flag returned by ipahostgroup calls have not always been correct.
The use of the module with IPA version 4.6 on RHEL-7 resulted in encoding
errors. All this has been fixed.
Addtitionally new test cases have been added to make sure that the issues
are solved.
There is a new hostgroup management module placed in the plugins folder:
plugins/modules/ipahostgroup.py
The hostgroup module allows to add, remove and disable hosts.
The hostgroup module is as compatible as possible to the Ansible upstream
ipa_hostgroup module, but addtionally offers to ensure member presence and
absence.
Here is the documentation for the module:
README-hostgroup.md
New example playbooks have been added:
playbooks/hostgroup/ensure-hostgroup-is-absent.yml
playbooks/hostgroup/ensure-hostgroup-is-present.yml
playbooks/hostgroup/ensure-hosts-and-hostgroups-are-absent-in-hostgroup.yml
playbooks/hostgroup/ensure-hosts-and-hostgroups-are-present-in-hostgroup.yml
