[IMPROVEMENT] Add support for Windows guests

[alegrey91]

We should add Windows family support.

This repository could be useful to create templated images with Packer: https://github.com/StefanScherer/packer-windows

We should set a list of targetable versions, so we do not have dependencies problems to run ansible, let's make a list, in future it will be useful to include in various types of pipelines

Interesting for disk management:

Should we consider checking and setting community.windows collections as an optional dependency to support win? They appear pretty useful for win stuff, instead of having to rewrite a lot of stuff in powershell, what do you think?

[alegrey91]

Honestly, I'd like to avoid third parts components as much as possible. Anyway I'll take a look at this. We should also provide them on the container image if we decide to switch, so it shouldn't be considered as "optional" for me.

I discovered an interesting way to list dependencies for ansible-galaxy.
Here's the description: https://galaxy.ansible.com/docs/using/installing.html#installing-multiple-roles-from-a-file
Using this way we could automize the dependencies installation on the Travis pipeline and the Dockerfile.

Yes the idea was to use requirements file.
We could put a check in the validate tag in case of windows guest, to ensure the dependency is installed only when needed

[Update]
The issue is still alive. We are working on it, but this has now less priority.
