adds module create function for eapi.py shared module

This commit changes the way modules create an instance of AnsibleModule to
now use a common function, eapi_module.  This function will now automatically
append the common argument spec to the module argument_spec.  Module
arguments can override common module arguments

 The eapi module provides the following common argument spec:
 
     * host (str) - [Required] The IPv4 address or FQDN of the network device
-
     * port (str) - Overrides the default port to use for the HTTP/S
         connection.  The default values are 80 for HTTP and
         443 for HTTPS
-
+    * username (str) - [Required] The username to use to authenticate
-    * url_username (str) - [Required] The username to use to authenticate
         the HTTP/S connection.  Aliases: username
-
+    * password (str) - [Required] The password to use to authenticate
-    * url_password (str) - [Required] The password to use to authenticate
         the HTTP/S connection.  Aliases: password
-
     * use_ssl (bool) - Specifies whether or not to use an encrypted (HTTPS)
         connection or not.  The default value is False.
-
     * enable_mode (bool) - Specifies whether or not to enter `enable` mode
         prior to executing the command list.  The default value is True
-
     * enable_password (str) - The password for entering `enable` mode
         on the switch if configured.
+    * device (dict) - Used to send the entire set of connectin parameters
+        as a dict object.  This argument is mutually exclusive with the
+        host argument
 
 In order to communicate with Arista EOS devices, the eAPI feature
 must be enabled and configured on the device.
