* Make it easier to find network modules
Feedback has been it's difficult (via Google or directly) to find
modules as some people search for the company name vs product name,
therefore specify both.
* "IOS XR" (not "IOS-XR")
It's possible that if the module has a low-level failure, such as
"unable to open shell", or something else in the action plugin that
stdout and stdout_lines will not be returned.
Update the documentation to clarify this point.
In old IOSXR versions, 'show commit changes diff' does not work.
Fall-back to 'show configuration' if that command fails so execution
can move forward.

what is expected by network_cli

line. If a comment is > 60 characters, the module will now gracefully error
and return a well formed message.

When the configuration is compared and the results deserialized, the
dumps() function returns a string. This cohereces the return to a list
in case before and/or after needs to be applied

[1] The commands argument will now accept a dict argument that can
specifiy the output format of the command. To specify a dict argument
use the form of { command: <str>, output: <str>, prompt: <str>,
response: <str> }.
