pkgutil: add update all, check-mode, squashing and examples (#799)
* pkgutil: add update all, check-mode, squashing and examples
Taken from https://github.com/ansible/ansible/pull/51651 by dagwieers, which was taken from https://github.com/ansible/ansible/pull/27866 by scathatheworm. Let’s have one last attempt to get this merged.
> ##### SUMMARY
>
> Original PR #27866 from scathatheworm
>
> When working with Solaris pkgutil CSW packages, I came across this module being very basic in functionality, in particular, that I could not use it to update all CSW packages.
>
> When going into details into the code I also found it did not incorporate a possibility of doing dry-run from the underlying utility, or supported to specify multiple packages for operations.
>
> This module probably sees very little use, but it seemed like nice functionality to add and make it behave a little more like other package modules.
