Add win_iis_webhandler

[davetapley]

SUMMARY

The iis modules are missing any way to manage handlers in IIS.

It looks like @arestarh had a PR ready to go to support this: https://github.com/ansible/ansible/pull/45998

But it was rejected because:

After some discussion at the Windows Working Group module review, we're a little nervous to take on more IIS modules into the core distribution right now, especially given the state of the other IIS modules we already have. This would be a good candidate for the new collections feature that's coming in Ansible 2.8, which would allow these modules to be hosted on galaxy.ansible.com and easily installed/upated by users on their Ansible controller.

It appears there might be a workaround for this using ansible.windows.win_dsc. The last example shows how dsccommunity/xWebAdministration can be used:

- name: Create IIS Website with Binding and Authentication options
  ansible.windows.win_dsc:
    resource_name: xWebsite
...

And xWebAdministration appears to support webapplicationhandler, which might be what we need.

I couldn't get that workaround ⬆️ working due to https://github.com/dsccommunity/xWebAdministration/issues/573

But I was able to workaround that with this:

    - name: Create FastCGI handler
      ansible.windows.win_shell: |
        $name = "my-FastCGI-handler"
        $site = "mysite"
        $scriptprocessor = "C:\Python34\python.exe|D:\inetpub\mysite\wfastcgi.py"
        $handler = Get-WebHandler -name  $name -PSPath "IIS:\Sites\$site\"
        if(!$handler) {
          New-WebHandler -Name $name -Path "*" -Verb "*" -Modules "FastCgiModules" -ScriptProcessor $scriptprocessor -ResourceType Either -PSPath "IIS:\Sites\$site\"
        }

I found New-WebHandler from a suggested workaround in the description of https://github.com/dsccommunity/xWebAdministration/issues/573, but I'm not sure why it isn't used in webhandler.ps1 in@arestarh 's PR?

I'm pretty new to all this, but I'm happy to have a go if someone could point me to what the next steps are 😁
