Summary

Adding a feature to not discard uncommitted changes to allow the usage of task loops

Steps to reproduce

  - name: Configure IRBs and VLANs
    juniper.device.config:
      config_mode: private
      commit: false
      check: false
      load: set
      lines:
        - "set interfaces irb unit {{ item }} family inet address 10.1.{{ item }}.1/24"
        - "set vlans vlan{{ item }} vlan-id {{ item }} l3-interface irb.{{ item }}"
    loop: "{{ range(1,254) | list }}"

  - name: Commit changes
    juniper.device.config:
      commit: true
      comment: "Configure IRBs and VLANs"

Expected results

task loop sets expected values, then commits result

Actual results

pending configuration is discarded at the end of the task loop, requiring a commit for every loop of the task
