amazon.aws.elb_classic_lb does not support deletion_protection argument

[stefanhorning]

Summary

Unlike the other ELB modules the elb_classic_lb module does not support the deletion_protection argument.
This is somewhat inconsistent as this is a flag supported by all ELB types on AWS. So it would be nice to add it to the Ansible module too.
So one could add this line to all elb modules:
deletion_protection: true

Thank you for your consideration.

Ok, rechecking the AWS Console, it might be that deletion protection might not be available on those ELBs on AWS side. was just confused by the Boto3 docs which make it appear like this is possible for all ELB types.

Hi @stefanhorning, thank you for reporting. Looking at the aws documentation, I think classic load balancers might not support deletion_protection attribute.
https://docs.aws.amazon.com/cli/latest/reference/elb/modify-load-balancer-attributes.html

Whereas Application, Network, Gateway Load balancers do support it.
https://docs.aws.amazon.com/cli/latest/reference/elbv2/modify-load-balancer-attributes.html

Please feel free to reopen the issue if required. Thanks!
