Fixes issue #4 - Plugin is not working to launch workflow template jobs
The proposed code change provides the capability the capability to trigger a workflow template job on Ansible Tower.
This allows to run more complex automation job based on multiple templates.
There is no additional dependencies required for this change.
The synthetic.xml file has been modified to include a check box for "isTemplateWorkflow" described as "If job template is a workflow, tick this option."
This will provide a condition for a code perspective to use the appropriate tower_cli API construct.
Note that due to the nature of an Ansible Tower Workflow, the output of the actual play(s) will not be gathered as Ansible Tower will triggered multiple children jobs for each part of the Workflow elements.
This code change will not stdout the logs of all the children jobs to the Release run logs.
However, the code change will track the status of the Workflow job to ensure proper status is reported.
