Add options to filter lists_mergeby (#4058)

Browse source 
* Update filter lists_mergeby #4057

* Added options 'recursive' and 'list_merge'. The functionality of the
  added options is the same as in the filter 'combine'.
* Allow the user to do [list1, list2, ...]|lists_mergeby('index')
* Use the function merge_hash from ansible.utils.vars

* Add merge_hash_wrapper to test Ansible version

* Enable Ansible 2.9 and lower versions with default options of
  lists_mergeby only.
* Non-default options of lists_mergeby trigger error in 2.9 and lower
  versions.
* Update messages and tests.

* Fix tests.

* Use LooseVersion instead of SpecifierSet.

* Update docs 'Filter Guide' section 'Merging lists of dictionaries'.

* Added changelog fragment.

minor_changes:
- lists_mergeby filter plugin - add parameters ``list_merge`` and ``recursive``. These are only supported when used with ansible-base 2.10 or ansible-core, but not with Ansible 2.9 (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/4058).

Merging lists of dictionaries
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
If you have two lists of dictionaries and want to combine them into a list of merged dictionaries, where two dictionaries are merged if they coincide in one attribute, you can use the ``lists_mergeby`` filter.
If you have two or more lists of dictionaries and want to combine them into a list of merged dictionaries, where the dictionaries are merged by an attribute, you can use the ``lists_mergeby`` filter.
.. note:: The output of the examples in this section use the YAML callback plugin. Quoting: "Ansible output that can be quite a bit easier to read than the default JSON formatting." See :ref:`the documentation for the community.general.yaml callback plugin <ansible_collections.community.general.yaml_callback>`.
In the example below the lists are merged by the attribute ``name``:

It is possible to use a list of lists as an input of the filter:
.. code-block:: yaml+jinja
---
- name: Merge two lists by common attribute 'name'
set_fact:
list3: "{{ [list1, list2]|
community.general.lists_mergeby('name') }}"
vars:

- debug:

This produces the same result as in the previous example:
.. code-block:: yaml
list3:
- extra: false
name: bar
- name: baz
path: /baz
- extra: true
name: foo
path: /foo
- extra: true
name: meh
The filter also accepts two optional parameters: ``recursive`` and ``list_merge``. These parameters are only supported when used with ansible-base 2.10 or ansible-core, but not with Ansible 2.9. This is available since community.general 4.4.0.
**recursive**
Is a boolean, default to ``False``. Should the ``community.general.lists_mergeby`` recursively merge nested hashes. Note: It does not depend on the value of the ``hash_behaviour`` setting in ``ansible.cfg``.
**list_merge**
Is a string, its possible values are ``replace`` (default), ``keep``, ``append``, ``prepend``, ``append_rp`` or ``prepend_rp``. It modifies the behaviour of ``community.general.lists_mergeby`` when the hashes to merge contain arrays/lists.
The examples below set ``recursive=true`` and display the differences among all six options of ``list_merge``. Functionality of the parameters is exactly the same as in the filter ``combine``. See :ref:`Combining hashes/dictionaries <combine_filter>` to learn details about these options.
Example ``list_merge=replace`` (default):
.. code-block:: yaml+jinja
