Ansible module support for Network Watcher and Flow Logs

[paultaiton]

SUMMARY

I do not see any method for setting up Network Watchers or Flow Logs in azcollection. It would be nice for this to be available.

COMPONENT NAME

azure_rm_networkwatcher azure_rm_networkwatcher_info azure_rm_flowlog azure_rm_flowlog_info

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

These are two related resources in Azure that are used for recording traffic data from Network Security Groups.

I have a requirement to automate the provisioning of these resources. From a basic look, it appears that the azure.mgmt.network package (and NetworkManagementClient) provides network_client.network_watcher and netwrok_client.flow_log objects manage. However the API version for NetworkManagementClient, 2019-06-01, does not support flow logs. The earliest version that does is 2019-11-01 . The question I have is around the level of testing needed to update the NetworkManagementClient API version? This package in particular is used in a LOT of modules, so I don't want to be the one to break anything by updating the azure_rm_common API version.
