Joseph Callen cef9e42896 Resolves issue with vmware_host module for v2.0
When this module was written back in May 2015 we were using 1.9.x. Being lazy I added to param the objects that the other functions would need. What I have noticed is in 2.0 exit_json is trying to jsonify those complex objects and failing. This PR resolves that issue with the vmware_host module.

@kamsz reported this issue in https://github.com/ansible/ansible-modules-extras/pull/1568

Playbook
```
    - name: Add Host
      local_action:
        module: vmware_host
        hostname: "{{ mgmt_ip_address }}"
        username: "{{ vcsa_user }}"
        password: "{{ vcsa_pass }}"
        datacenter_name: "{{ mgmt_vdc }}"
        cluster_name: "{{ mgmt_cluster }}"
        esxi_hostname: "{{ hostvars[item].hostname }}"
        esxi_username: "{{ esxi_username }}"
        esxi_password: "{{ site_passwd }}"
        state: present
      with_items: groups['foundation_esxi']
```
