hpilo_boot task with the option state: boot_once should not fail if the server is already on

[christian-naenny]

Summary

In the idea of the idempotency of Ansible plays and tasks, I would like to suggest that the following task should not fail but rather just skip if the server is already on:

- name: Power on a server
  community.general.hpilo_boot:
    host: YOUR_ILO_HOST
    login: YOUR_ILO_LOGIN
    password: YOUR_ILO_PASSWORD
    state: boot_once

Of course, if the option force: true is set, the server should still be rebooted.
