When looking for installed packages we do not need to query
repositories since we only care about the rpmdb. As such, we can
disable all the repositories operations in order to improve the
performance of that step
Before this patch, when using 'state: present' in the zypper module,
the operation was taking about 12 seconds to complete:
time ansible-playbook foo.yml 1>/dev/null
real 0m12.614s
user 0m10.880s
sys 0m0.683s
After this patch:
time ansible-playbook foo.yml 1>/dev/null
real 0m4.193s
user 0m2.560s
sys 0m0.575s

* Implement state='dist-upgrade'
Implements `zypper dist-upgrade` for the zypper module. This follows
how `zypper upgrade` is invoked, except `state='dist-upgrade'`.
Setting name to anything other than '*' would cause the module to error
out. `dist-upgrade` affects all packages and would not make sense to
apply to a specific package.
* Implement option extra_args
Add option to append additional arguments to zypper command. This
should be able to accommodate other options that are not (yet) covered
by zypper module.
Arguments are given as if written in the command line, complete with
dashes.
