Adding a value to an attribute or removing a value from an attribute of a LDAP entry throws the exception TypeError: object of type 'filter' has no len()
If values="somestring" is specified then this module normalizes it to
["somestring"]. This means that passing name="foo", values="",
state=exact results in the ldap entry having a single attribute called
foo="".
To delete all attributes "foo", regardless of their values, it is
necessary to pass name="foo", values=[], state="exact".
The LDAP values may be of any kind (pictures, bytes, etc.) thus, ldap module enforce a "bytes" type.
We should pass properly encoded values instead of str

* In some deployments, using compare_s results in spurious “changed” results,
while bind is more reliable. The downside is that it results in an extra
connection, and the code it more involved.

This fix adds a module option `validate_certs' to check
self-signed certificate of LDAP server.

* Split modules/network into two parts
Given the dedicated team we we have working on Ansible Networking a
clearer split is needed between Networking modules and "things that
happen to use the network"
* nmcli to net_tools
* nmcli moved
