The use of the `hostvars[esxi1].ansible_host` was attempt to use
different hostname and IP address. But it's actually the source of
more problems.
VMware expects to be able to resolvable the host name. This means, that
if someone wants to run the test-suite, s/he needs to use a DNS or
update the `/etc/hosts` files on the different hosts.
* Add folder_name alias
The parameter should be named folder_name instead of folder to be
consistent with the other parameters cluster_name and datacenter_name.
* Fix 'A specified parameter was not correct: cnxSpec' error
The play fails when re-connecting a host with the cnxSpec argument
defined.
Just remove the cnxSpec argument definition. It isn't necessary when
re-connecting an existing host in vCenter (6.5).
* Fix ESXi host add/remove/re-connect errors
An ESXi host cannot be added, removed, or re-connected under a folder.
ESXi hosts connected under a folder, instead of a cluster, have an
object type of ComputeResource instead of HostSystem and the HostSystem
object is the first entry in the host parameter list of the
ComputeResource object.
Separate between cluster and folder actions.
* Resolve newly added tests as filters
* Add code smell to test for ansible provided jinja tests as filters syntax
* Add docs for no-tests-as-filters code smell test
* Address tests as filters in new integration tests
* Address feedback
* Address feedback 2
* vmware_host: add reconnect and add_or_reconnect states
Add "reconnect" and "add_or_reconnect" choices for "state".
* reconnect: reconnect an esxi to a vcenter (imply it is present).
* add_or_reconnect: do the same but add the esxi if absent.
Also:
* tag the cluster_name as required (because it is).
* tag esxi_username and esxi_password as not required because
they aren't when the esxi isn't added.
* vmware_host: add + prepare/document integration tests
vmware_host module
Add integration test for the add part of "add_or_reconnect" state.
Prepare and document integration tests for the reconnect part
of "add_or_reconnect" state and "reconnect" and "absent" states.
Currently we can't test those states as ReconnectHost_Task (for
"reconnect") and EnterMaintenanceMode_Task (for "absent") aren't
implemented yet in vcsim (from vmware/govmomi)
* vmware_host: Small fixes and docs updates

* Update vmware_host
Fix adds following:
