Joseph Callen 2fc15c5d2b Resolves issue with vmware_vswitch module for v2.0
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.

Playbook
```yaml
   - name: Add a temporary vSwitch
      local_action:
        module: vmware_vswitch
        hostname: "{{ inventory_hostname }}"
        username: "{{ esxi_username }}"
        password: "{{ site_passwd }}"
        switch_name: temp_vswitch
        nic_name: "{{ vss_vmnic }}"
        mtu: 1500
```

Module Testing
```bash

ansible-modules-extras

This repo contains a subset of ansible-modules with slightly lower use or priority than "core" modules.

All new modules should be submitted here, and have a chance to be promoted to core over time.

Reporting bugs

Take care to submit tickets to the appropriate repo where modules are contained. The repo is mentioned at the bottom of module documentation page at docs.ansible.com.

Testing modules

Ansible module development guide contains the latest info about that.

License

As with Ansible, modules distributed with Ansible are GPLv3 licensed. User generated modules not part of this project can be of any license.

Installation

There should be no need to install this repo separately as it should be included in any Ansible install using the official documented methods.
