boto_asg problem if an existing ASG has Target Group attached

hi :)

Description of Issue

The root cause of the issue is with the boto library https://github.com/boto/boto/issues/3613 It happens if Autoscaling groups in the AWS account have Target Groups attached to an ASG. The boto's xml parsing fails as the Target Group is not an expected attribute (happens here). I debugged a request to get_all_groups and saw that the XML returned by the raw AWS HTTP API returns correct data but the dict returned by the get_all_groups is malformed - full of None values and invalid structure altogether.

The invalid structure of the dict returned by boto to salt's boto_asg leads to the exception shown below. Since boto seems to be pretty much abandoned a possible solution would be to remove dependencies from boto_asg module to boto.

Setup

generic.sls
{% for dialer_country in countries %}
{% set dialer_name = env.environment  + "-" +  app.name  + "-" + dialer_country -%}
dialer_{{ dialer_country }}:
   boto_asg.present:
    - name: "{{ dialer_name }}"
    - launch_config_name: "{{ dialer_name }}"
    - launch_config:
      - image_id: {{ app.ami }}
      - key_name: {{ env.key_name }}
      - instance_profile_name: arn:aws:iam::{{  env.aws_id }}:instance-profile/{{ app.instance_role }}
      - security_groups:
        - {{ env.security_group_ids.internal_sg }}
        - {{ env.security_group_ids.offices_vpn_sg }}
      - instance_type: t3.micro
      - cloud_init:
         boothooks:
           'boothook.sh': |
             {% set name_ow = {"name_overwrite": app.name + "-" + dialer_country } -%}
             {% set extra_data = {"extra_grains": {"dialer": dialer_country}, "app": name_ow} -%}
             {{ cloud_init_boothook(env, app, extra_data=extra_data) | indent(width=13, indentfirst=False) }}
         scripts:
           'salt_bootstrap.sh': |
             {{ cloud_init_script(env, app, extra_data=extra_data) | indent(width=13, indentfirst=False) }}

    - availability_zones:
      - {{ env.region }}a
      - {{ env.region }}b
    - vpc_zone_identifier:
      - {{ app.vpc_subnets.dialer_1 }}
      - {{ app.vpc_subnets.dialer_2 }}
    - min_size: {{ app.min_size }}
    - max_size: {{ app.max_size }}
    - desired_capacity: {{ app.desired_capacity }}
    - region: {{ env.region }}
    - tags:
      - key: 'country'
        value: {{ dialer_country }}
      - key: 'Name'
        value: {{ dialer_name }}

        propagate_at_launch: True
    - order: last
