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
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
