Issue:
Autoscaling instance refresh API support
<!--- Verify first that your feature was not already discussed on GitHub -->
<!--- Complete *all* sections as described, this form is processed automatically -->

##### SUMMARY
<!--- Describe the new feature/improvement briefly below -->
AWS recently introduced "Instance refresh" feature in ASG. Using it is preferred way to update launch configuration in ASG

##### ISSUE TYPE
- Feature Idea

##### COMPONENT NAME
<!--- Write the short name of the module, plugin, task or feature below, use your best guess if unsure -->
ec2_asg
##### ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
<!--- Describe how the feature would be used, why it is needed and what it would solve -->
Deploying ASG from the client depends on internet connectivity and is not transactional. In the middle of deployment of ASG it can fail leaving ASG in unpredicted state. Using AWS infrastructure will add more stability in deployment (and probably will make it faster)

More about the feature: https://aws.amazon.com/blogs/compute/introducing-instance-refresh-for-ec2-auto-scaling/

Boto3 documentation: https://boto3.amazonaws.com/v1/documentation/api/latest/reference/services/autoscaling.html#AutoScaling.Client.start_instance_refresh

<!--- Paste example playbooks or commands between quotes below -->
```yaml
- commutiny.aws.ec2_asg_instance_refresh:
    name: some-backend
```
