v0.3.0

Breaking Changes

#270 - To pass in integers via Ansible Jinja filters for a key in data that requires querying an endpoint is now done by making it a dictionary with an id key.
The previous behavior was to just pass in an integer and it was converted when normalizing the data, but some people may have names that are all integers and those were being converted erroneously so we made the decision to change
the method to convert to an integer for the NetBox API.

tasks:
  - name: Create device within NetBox with only required information
    netbox_device:
      netbox_url: http://netbox-demo.org:32768
      netbox_token: 0123456789abcdef0123456789abcdef01234567
      data:
        name: Test66
        device_type:
          id: "{{ some_jinja_variable }}"
        device_role: Core Switch
        site: Test Site
        status: Staged
      state: present

#269 - pynetbox changed to using requests.Session() to manage the HTTP session which broke passing in ssl_verify when building the NetBox API client.
This PR makes pynetbox 5.0.4+ the new required version of pynetbox for the Ansible modules and lookup plugin.
