* add vmware maintenance mode support
* changed version number in documentation
* updated version_added to 2.0 since CI is failing
* changed version to 2.0 due to CI - error asking for 2.1
* added RETURN
* updated formatting of return values and added some to clarify actions taken
* VMware datacenter module rewritten to don't hold pyvmomi context and objects in Ansible module object
fixed exceptions handling
added datacenter destroy result, moved checks
changed wrong value
wrong value again... need some sleep
* check_mode fixes
* state defaults to present, default changed to true
* module check fixes
When this module was written back in May 2015 we were using 1.9.x. Being lazy I added to param the objects that the other functions would need. What I have noticed is in 2.0 exit_json is trying to jsonify those complex objects and failing. This PR resolves that issue with the vmware_vm_vss_dvs_migrate module.

Some do not use the json module directly so don't need import json.
Some needed to fallback to simplejson with no traceback if neither was installed
Fixes#1298
* Remove leading module parameter on open_url call as it's no longer used
by module_utils.urls.open_url
* Force basic auth otherwise vsphere will just return a 401
Merge in devel for further testing, and hopefully discussion with community about future direction for the cloud/vmware modules. --
