cisco.ios.ios_snmp_server module lacks SNMPv3 Authentication SHA-2 support (limited to unsecure MD5 and SHA-1

[andreasleknes]

Feature Summary

The SNMP Users support providing priv_option to set additional parameters for encryption, but for authentication only sha-1 and md5 is supported. Should be fairly easy to add support for SHA-2

Syntax should be snmp-server user username group v3 auth sha-2 auth_option where auth_option could be either 256, 384 or 512.
