Support disable module with dnfmodule package provider

Issue Type:	New Feature

Reporter:	Vadym Chepkov

dnfmodule package provider currently only supports 'enable' operation.

disable operation should be added as well, which would allow use alternative sources for the OS packages, not supporting modular design.

For example, to install postgresql 11 one needs to disable 'postgresql' module

Re: Support disable module with dnfmodule package provider

After some discussion with the team, we think the best method to disable a dnf module, is to create a new value for ensure field, only available for dnf module.

"package { 'package_name':

  ensure => 'disabled',

  provider => 'dnfmodule'

}"

Some other alternatives would have been:

Create a new parameter 'disable_stream=true', but that would lead to additional checks/complexity regarding the ensure parameter.
Creating a new resource, but most likely we would end up in the same situation where we would like to enable a stream, but not install the profile, so we would need the enable_only field again.
