In module_utils we have a bunch of factory functions that we expect
people to use in a certain combination to build a module, then we
pass around a reference to the SDK and to the connection we created.
That's largely just due to how this stuff grew organically.
Instead, create a base class to be used in the modules. For now it
allows us to clean things up a bit. But as a follow on - it should
maybe help us put in things like richer logging collection which
would otherwise need to be done with helper methods and whatnot.
