* Introduce new "required_by' argument_spec option
This PR introduces a new **required_by** argument_spec option which allows you to say *"if parameter A is set, parameter B and C are required as well"*.
- The difference with **required_if** is that it can only add dependencies if a parameter is set to a specific value, not when it is just defined.
- The difference with **required_together** is that it has a commutative property, so: *"Parameter A and B are required together, if one of them has been defined"*.
As an example, we need this for the complex options that the xml module provides. One of the issues we often see is that users are not using the correct combination of options, and then are surprised that the module does not perform the requested action(s).
This would be solved by adding the correct dependencies, and mutual exclusives. For us this is important to get this shipped together with the new xml module in Ansible v2.4. (This is related to bugfix https://github.com/ansible/ansible/pull/28657)
```python
module = AnsibleModule(
argument_spec=dict(
path=dict(type='path', aliases=['dest', 'file']),
xmlstring=dict(type='str'),
xpath=dict(type='str'),
namespaces=dict(type='dict', default={}),
state=dict(type='str', default='present', choices=['absent',
'present'], aliases=['ensure']),
value=dict(type='raw'),
attribute=dict(type='raw'),
add_children=dict(type='list'),
set_children=dict(type='list'),
count=dict(type='bool', default=False),
print_match=dict(type='bool', default=False),
pretty_print=dict(type='bool', default=False),
content=dict(type='str', choices=['attribute', 'text']),
input_type=dict(type='str', default='yaml', choices=['xml',
'yaml']),
backup=dict(type='bool', default=False),
),
supports_check_mode=True,
required_by=dict(
add_children=['xpath'],
attribute=['value', 'xpath'],
content=['xpath'],
set_children=['xpath'],
value=['xpath'],
),
required_if=[
['count', True, ['xpath']],
['print_match', True, ['xpath']],
],
required_one_of=[
['path', 'xmlstring'],
['add_children', 'content', 'count', 'pretty_print', 'print_match', 'set_children', 'value'],
],
mutually_exclusive=[
['add_children', 'content', 'count', 'print_match','set_children', 'value'],
['path', 'xmlstring'],
],
)
```
* Rebase and fix conflict
* Add modules that use required_by functionality
* Update required_by schema
* Fix rebase issue
Trying to associate an already-associated ElasticIP was failing.
This is however supported by the `boto` method that is used
under the hood, `associate_address`:
To quote `boto` documentation:
```
This option to allow an Elastic IP address that is already
associated with another networkinterface or instance to be
re-associated with the specified instance or interface.
```
This defaults to False, both per backwards-compatibility
and to mirror the boto default value.
Fixes#27385
* Return correct changed status when EIP is reused
When reusing an existing EIP, the changed status
should be False, not True.
* If public_ip is given and it exists, return it
Ensure EIP allocation returns existing public_ip correctly

If an EC2 instance is already associated with an EIP address, we use
that, rather than allocating a new EIP address and associating it with
that.
Fixes#35.
