Peter Sprygada 8137c7207d adds feature to try to auto determine network_os (#18674)
This updates the network_cli connection plugin to attempt to automatically
determine the remote device os.  The device network os discovery can
be overridden by setting the ansible_network_os value.

Peter Sprygada 9aa8547016 adds two new plugins that use ansible-connection for persistence (#18572)
* adds new connection plugin `network_cli` which builds on paramiko
* adds new plugin `terminal` used for manipulating network_cli terminals
* adds new field to play_context `network_os` settable as ansible_network_os

This commit adds the plugins necesary to establish a persistent cli connection
to network devices of ssh.  It builds on the paramiko connection plugin
to create a shell environment that will persistent through ansible-connection.
The `newtork_cli` plugin then uses the network_os in the instance of
PlayContext to load the appropriate network OS environment plugin for
handling opening and closing of shells as well as privilege escalation.
