validate direct upgrades from 10.1.x or 10.2.x to 11.1.x version.
Description
As part of Simplified Software Upgrade feature (https://docs.paloaltonetworks.com/pan-os/10-2/pan-os-new-features/management-features/simplified-software-upgrade) where we can upgrade PAN-OS from ver 10.1.x/10.2.x directly to 11.1.x (provided we have base software 11.1.0 downloaded), same feature from Ansible can now be used
Motivation and Context
This problem solves indirect multi-path upgrade
i.e 10.1.8 -> 11.0.0 -> 11.1.0 -> 11.1.x version to be upgraded in a single path upgrade to 10.1.8 -> 11.1.x
Also, a reported bug #553
How Has This Been Tested?
I have tested the function using my use-case of current version as 10.1.12 and target version of 11.1.6
The actual PANOS has been tested for upgrade and the same was successful without any issue
