SUMMARY
This PR changes the gitlab_group module to make most options optional, as they should be according to the gitlab API documentation. This PR also ensures compatibility with Gitlab v16 as current module behaviour is non-functional with Gitlab v16.
Closes #4577
Closes #5806
ISSUE TYPE
COMPONENT NAME
gitlab_group
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Current module behaviour is to include parameters in the API call to gitlab even if they're not set. This results in the API call including 'nil' values for these parameters. This still worked up until Gitlab v15.11.4.
Gitlab v16 currently breaks on this behaviour. This pull request ensures API parameters are only included when they're actually set, or if they are mandatory.
