Goal

Ansible bindings of CNV should make use of the managedField annotations supported by Kubernetes (see [1]).

For this the ansible bindings should support patching of resources or the server side apply mode when modifying existing resources on a cluster.

• As a VM Owner, I want to be able to modify a subset of fields of an existing VMs, so that I can make changes in a predictable way.
