win_reboot add new option for test user

[gamethis]

SUMMARY

win_reboot does a test to verify the system has rebooted. under most circumstances this is great.

However domain policy can and local security policy can impact this. ie. local user was used before domain join. Domain Policy prevents local user logon. ie. the Administrator account was renamed to help comply with CIS standards. after reboot the user Administrator is no longer available.

The first of the two examples can be worked around by doing something like follows

- name: "Rename Administrator"
  community.windows.win_security_policy:
    section: System Access
    key: NewAdministratorName
    value: awesome_administrator


- name: Change Username to Domain Mapped Name
  ansible.builtin.set_fact:
    remote_user: awesome_administrator
    ansible_user: awesome_administrator
  when: ansible_user != 'awesome_administrator'

- name: Rebooting for name change
   ansible.windows.win_reboot:

the second example however can be worked around with win_reboot. which means the option is to do something like follows

- name: no local accounts domain reboot
  block:
    - name: Reboot for retail
      win_shell: |
        Restart-Computer -Force
    - name: Change Username to Domain Mapped Name
      ansible.builtin.set_fact:
        remote_user: "svc_account"
        ansible_user: "svc_account"

    - name: connect to retail system
      win_shell: |
        hostname
      register: connect
      retries: 25
      delay: "{{ 40 | random(start=10) }}"
      until: connect.rc = 0
  when: domain == 'no_local_logons'

I am suggesting that a test_user option and maybe a test_password be added to the module to allow a user to handle username and password changes that can occur at reboot.

I feel that both of these workarounds while working are a pain and should be able to be handled by the win_reboot module.
