The role gathers the facts it uses. For example, if the user uses
`ANSIBLE_GATHERING=explicit`, the role uses the `setup` module with the
facts and subsets it requires.
This change allows us to test this. Before every role invocation, the test
will use `meta: clear_facts` so that the role starts with no facts.
Create a task file tests/tasks/run_role_with_clear_facts.yml to do the tasks
to clear the facts and run the role. Note that this means we don't need to
use `gather_facts` for the tests.
Some vars defined using `ansible_facts` have been changed to be defined with
`set_fact` instead. This is because of the fact that `vars` are lazily
evaluated - the var might be referenced when the facts have been cleared, and
will issue an error like `ansible_facts["distribution"] is undefined`. This is
typically done for blocks that have a `when` condition that uses `ansible_facts`
and the block has a role invocation using run_role_with_clear_facts.yml
These have been rewritten to define the `when` condition using `set_fact`. This
is because the `when` condition is evaluated every time a task is invoked in the
block, and if the facts are cleared, this will raise an undefined variable error.

There was recently an upgrade to python black which made function
documentation checking stricter. This caused network tox CI to
break. The fix is to format the function doc text in the manner
expected by black.

Ethtool features should use underscores instead of dashes. A
warning shows in case dashes used, and it fails if underscore and dashes are
mixed. Unit tests and integration tests have been added. Since nm already
needed underscores, the string processing that was made in nm_provider is now
unneeded and therefore removed.
