Allows some factorization of redundant code in stop_vm(), start_vm(),
create_vm() and main().
This new function also waits one extra second after a successful task execution as the API can be a bit ahead of Proxmox.
Before:
TASK [ansible-role-proxmox-instance : Ensure test-instance is created]
changed: [localhost]
TASK [ansible-role-proxmox-instance : Ensure test-instance is updated]
fatal: [localhost]: FAILED! => changed=false
msg: VM test-instance does not exist in cluster.
After:
TASK [ansible-role-proxmox-instance : Ensure test-instance is created]
changed: [localhost]
TASK [ansible-role-proxmox-instance : Ensure test-instance is updated]
changed: [localhost]
With suggestions from Felix Fontein <felix@fontein.de>.
When the `vmid` parameter is not supplied and the module can only rely on
name look-up an early failure can happen if the targeted VM doesn't exist.
In this case a task execution with the parameter `state` set to `absent`
will actually fail instead of being considered ok.
This patch introduces a deferred error-checking for non-existent VMs
by assigning the value -1 to the `vmid` parameter, allowing the actual
verification to be performed in the right code paths.
Is also help to differentiate between a non-existent `vmid` or non-existent
VM `name`.
Previously:

Now:
