win_region: format: en-150 = English (Europe) not accepted

[nikiwaibel]

SUMMARY

windows supports the regional format English (Europe), which equals to en-150 (sometimes also referenced as en-EU or en-Europe, but it seems windows uses en-150).

when used with win_region (format: en-150) the following error is thrown:

fatal: [XXX]: FAILED! => {"changed": false, "msg": "The argument format 'en-150' does not contain a valid Culture Name", "restart_required": false}

in fact, en-150 is a valid culture name.
