Server-side artifact fetching feature in proxmox_template module does not include checksum option

[eltydari]

Summary

On the Proxmox VE UI, I can download an ISO image and include a checksum to make sure the download is not corrupted. However, when I use the Ansible module, there is no option available to include a checksum.

When I look through the Issues section, it seems this was already suggested in #7402 but never addressed by #9113.

We need this functionality as previously we had been downloading the iso image locally and performing a checksum check before uploading to Proxmox. This needs to be automated by the module.
