Discuss making module requirement of including a function called main(). There is no explicit mention that a module must include a call to main(), to call it a requirement, let's ensure we have consensus, and then explicitly document it.

There is a benefit to requiring it, rather than just guarding the code to execute under if __name__ == "__main__":, in that ansible-testing can import the module (mocking any missing imports) and invoke main so that AnsibleModule is executed. Then we can gather the full argument_spec as passed to AnsibleModule and do doc/arg_spec comparisons for things where required/default are specified, and to ensure docs match the arg_spec.
