Feature Idea: Allow for "directory" or "link" in place of "file" with state

As per https://github.com/ansible/ansible-modules-core/issues/3669, I believe that It would be a good adition to the file core module if we could use

dir: path=x/y/z

or

link: path=x/y/z

as an alias for

file: path=x/y/z state=directory

I would be glad to submit a pr if there is interest

Comments?
