* update integration tests for updated boto exception message
* integration tests fail on both "test credential" test cases
exception bubbles out of module. instead catch and wrap
* ec2_group does not support updating a security group's description
AWS security group descriptions are immutable.
if ec2_group finds a group that matches by name, but the descriptions do not match, the module does not support this case
previously it would check if the group was used, but would not do anything if it was
old behavior was erroneous because it could make a user expect that the description change of a group was fine when in fact it did not occur
also, it made an expensive check against all ec2 instances for no good reason
* comments not doc strings
* else must have pass w/o doc-string statement
* Catch specific BotoServerException, give context around error when fetching SGs
* python3 compatible exception blocks
* add traceback to fail_json
* two blank lines before first function

##### ISSUE TYPE
- Docs Pull Request
##### COMPONENT NAME
ec2_group.py
##### ANSIBLE VERSION
```
ansible 2.0.2.0
config file = /Users/tpai/src/cm-secure/ansible.cfg
configured module search path = Default w/o overrides
```
##### SUMMARY
Make it clear you can specify the created group in the rules list, allowing idempotent use for group<->group networking rules.
This is a really useful feature that isn't obvious enough in the docs.
The default VPC egress rules was being left in the egress rules for
purging in check mode. This ensures that the module returns the correct
change state during check mode.
EC2 Security Group names are unique given a VPC. When a group_name
value is specified in a rule, if the group_name does not exist in the
provided vpc_id it should create the group as per the documentation.
The groups dictionary uses group_names as keys, so it is possible to
find a group in another VPC with the name that is desired. This causes
an error as the security group being acted on, and the security group
referenced in the rule are in two different VPCs.
To prevent this issue, we check to see if vpc_id is defined and if so
check that VPCs match, else we treat the group as new.

Update/fix to Support specifying cidr_ip as a list
Unicode isn't compatible with python2, so we needed some other
solution to this problem. The simplest approach is if the ip item
isn't already a list, simply convert it to one, and we're done.
Thanks to @mspiegle for this suggestion.
Or is "rules_egree" supposed to be a plural? The sentence is difficult to parse.
Maybe the correct fix is to "Purge existing rules on security group that are not found in rules_egress"?
