Ansible docker\_container module does not implement the pids-limit parameter:

> `--pids-limit` |   
> | Tune container pids limit (set -1 for unlimited) |
> 
> - | - | - |

Which means use-cases like fork bomb protection cannot be configured, as required by security hardening.

Is there a current workaround/alternative implementation for this?
