This change deprecates vsphere_guest in favor of vmware_guest and other
related modules.
The major reasons behind deprecation are -
- Pysphere - Unofficial Python bindings of vCenter deprecated in the year 2013.
- VMware provides official Python bindings for vCenter, which is used in vmware_guest.
- vcsim - simulator used in integration testing of vmware module does not support PySphere
APIs, which makes it more difficult to test vsphere_guest.
Please see [deprecation plan](https://github.com/ansible/community/wiki/VMware%3A-vsphere_guest_deprecation)

Enforce module deprecation.
After module has reached the end of it's deprecation cycle we will replace it with a docs stub.
* Replace deprecated modules with docs-only sub
* Use of deprecated past deprecation cycle gives meaningful message (see examples below)
* Enforce documentation.deprecation dict via `schema.py`
* Update `ansible-doc` and web docs to display documentation.deprecation
* Document that structure in `dev_guide`
* Ensure that all modules starting with `_` have a `deprecation:` block
* Ensure `deprecation:` block is only used on modules that start with `_`
* `removed_in` A string which represents when this module needs **deleting**
* CHANGELOG.md and porting_guide_2.5.rst list removed modules as well as alternatives
* CHANGELOG.md links to porting guide index
To ensure that meaningful messages are given to the user if they try to use a module at the end of it's deprecation cycle we enforce the module to contain:
```python
if __name__ == '__main__':
removed_module()
```
This fix corrects the module state returned by github_module.
Now,
* When the release already exists, state is "ok"
* When the release is created, state is "changed"
