Nexpose Client v7.0.0

Welcome to Nexpose-client 7.0.0!!

There is a lot going on in this update, so please take some time to read through the release notes. Feel free to browse the new Changelog as well, for a more granular view.
Let's begin!

---

Ability to set Http Timeouts:

• Added :timeout and :open_timeout to Nexpose::Connection.
  • Default for both :timeout and :open_timeout are set to 120 seconds.
  • The default values will populate down to anything that uses a http(s) timeouts.
    • Applies mainly to APIRequest and Ajax
  • Added comments with links to Ruby docs for further info about how the different http timeouts are used.
    • :timeout
    • :open_timeout
• Removed the behavior of automatically retrying a request on a Timeout.
  • Since every request will have a default timeout of 120 seconds, we should no longer retry the request if it fails due to a timeout. A Timeout will now return an error and not retry.
• The following issues should now be able to edit their Timeout values and have a clear path to address their concern(s):
  • Issues: 269, 271, 274, 284
• Updated Documentation with info about how to use the Timeouts.

Updates to Credentials:

• Updates across all three of these PRs - #287, #288, #289
• Added Nexpose::CredentialHelper
  • Moved all set_auth_type helper methods to this module.
  • This allows alias to work as intended for both classes which inherit Credential.
  • Setting attributes of the object instead of instance variables like we were previously.
• Fixed SiteCredentials.test
• There were duplicate methods for SiteCredentials.copy. Now there are two distinct methods, and both implementations still return the same object.
  • SiteCredentials.copy requires connection, site and credential info.
  • SiteCredentials#copy just clones the current SiteCredentials but changes the name and the id.
• Alias changes for SharedCredentials
  • Alias :user_name ~> :username
  • Alias :permission_elevation_user ~> :privilege_username
  • Alias :permission_elevation_password ~> :privilege_password
  • Alias :permission_elevation_type ~> :privilege_type
• Added Credential::ElevationType::ENABLE for Cisco Enable/ Privileged Exec
