nim module

[robinvy]

Rework the nim module to uniformize with other modules. Example:

• use module.run_command instead of exec_command
• results global variable
• use standard results['stdout'] and results['stderr'] etc.

I have changed all the exec_command() calls to module.run_command() calls. The module now passes all the "ansible-test sanity --test validate-modules" checks.

Paul, do you have an idea of what new NIM operations you would like to see implemented in this NIM module? Currently the operations not supported by this module (or any of the other nim modules that we provide) are: -o define (only for things like group resources creation etc...) -o lppchk/lppmgr/lslpp -o showdump/showlog/showres (can use shell commands) -o snap
