win_dns_zone : Add Reverse Lookup zone possibility

[divxdigit]

SUMMARY

Currently the module only allows "Forward Lookup Zones". It would be usefull to allow "Reverse Lookup zones" to the module. This can be done with the parameter NetworkID and optionally the ZoneFile parameter. The add-on would fit perfectly in this current module because it uses the same powershell module to configure it.

I would like to join the feature. We only have a few forward zones in the Active Directory DNS and significantly more reverse zones. We currently have to make a workaround via PowerShell to create the reverse lookup zones.
