Aireos is not supported with network_cli as we move to collections in 2.10

[tom0010]

SUMMARY

Note: I have been doing this on 2.9.11, but actively trying to migrate to collections ready for 2.10.

As we go to 2.10, the new aireos_config is now in the community.network collection, as per the documentation: https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/collections/community/network/aireos_config_module.html

This leads us to: https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.network#supported-connections
Which states that only network_cli or httpapi can be used.

Inside of https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/network/user_guide/platform_index.html there is not aireos, so I think this has been missed when migrating to this new collection and out of Ansible base.
