Creates a VMware vSwitch
We have an end-to-end playbook that performs bare metal provisioning and
configuration of vSphere.
The playbooks/tasks and results from that testing is what will be listed
in this PR.
If there are any questions please let either @jcpowermac or @mtnbikenc
know.
Tested with version
```
$ ansible-playbook --version
ansible-playbook 1.9.2
configured module search path = None
```
Associated tasks used for testing below
```
- name: Add a temporary vSwitch
local_action:
module: vmware_vswitch
hostname: "{{ inventory_hostname }}"
username: "{{ esxi_username }}"
password: "{{ site_passwd }}"
switch_name: temp_vswitch
nic_name: "{{ vss_vmnic }}"
mtu: 9000

Right now even if you pass in an empty tags list to the module (either with
an empty string or null) it will erroneously think the tags list have changed
and re-apply the tags on every run
* Changed 'config' from a list to a string so any valid zonecfg(1M) syntax is accepted.
* Made default state 'present'
* Added 'attached', 'detached' and 'configured' states to allow zones to be moved between hosts.
* Updated documentation and examples.
* Code tidy up and refactoring.
