access: fix VLAN database idempotency

Do not try and match the global VLAN list as printed by the switch.
Instead, only try to realize the truth: there may be some VLANs added
and some removed.

We keep the compact_numlist filter and use it instead of the built-in
vlan_parser when listing VLANs for tagged ports. This is because some
switches compact 1,2,4,5,6 as 1-2,4-6 and others as 1,2,4-6 (see next
commit).

All of this should reduce the number of cases where Ansible reports a
change in configuration where there was in fact no change.
