win_iis_website "parameters" parameter not idempotent

[bkonicek]

SUMMARY

The win_iis_website module is no longer idempotent when defining 'parameters:` If the property is defined it reports "Changed" on every run. As soon as it is commented out it stops reporting changes in the play.

This is similar to https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/34500 but seems to have regressed to any parameters, not just the specific one in the previous issue

ANSIBLE VERSION

ansible 2.10.2

OS / ENVIRONMENT

Ubuntu 18.04 Remote host - Windows Server 2019

STEPS TO REPRODUCE

Create a Windows 2019 server that Ansible can reach. Install IIS and run a playbook to create a win_iis_website

- community.windows.win_iis_website:
     name: testsite
     application_pool: DefaultAppPool
     port: 80
     physical_path: C:\inetpub\wwwroot
     state: started
     parameters: logfile.directory:C:\inetpub

EXPECTED RESULTS

After running the playbook once, subsequent runs should report no changes.

HOSTNAME               : ok=1 changed=0

ACTUAL RESULTS

Every time the above task is run changes are reported.

HOSTNAME               : ok=1 changed=1
