[nios_zone] changing a nios_zone does not work

[DonEstefan]

I was asked to move my issue from the ansible-collections repo to the infoblox-ansible repo. So here it is.

SUMMARY

changing a parameter of an existing nios_zone always results in an error message:
"Field is not allowed for update: zone_format", "operation": "update_object"
This happens even if "zone_format" does not change

Hello, we ran into the same issue when trying to update an existing zone. May this one get a little more priority?
