proxmox_kvm unable to force-stop a VM quickly

[elelayan]

Summary

state: stopped won't stop a VM not responding to ACPI until 10 minutes, even with force: true.

It will create a shutdown task, with the (proxmox VE) timeout of 10 minutes.
The task will finally halt the VM after 10 minutes but it's too long.

pve api timeout parameter should be exposed, to have proxmox kill the VM quicker.

Maybe it could be computed as the module's timeout parameter - 1?

Steps to Reproduce

---
- hosts: all
  gather_facts: false

  tasks:
    - name: Stop template VM Will timeout
      community.general.proxmox_kvm:
        api_user: "{{ pve_user }}"
        api_token_id: "{{ pve_token_id }}"
        api_token_secret: "{{ pve_token_secret }}"
        api_host: "{{ pve_api_host }}"
        vmid: "{{ pve_template_vm_id }}"
        state: stopped
        force: true
      delegate_to: localhost

    - name: Stop template VM will succeed after 10 minutes
      community.general.proxmox_kvm:
        api_user: "{{ pve_user }}"
        api_token_id: "{{ pve_token_id }}"
        api_token_secret: "{{ pve_token_secret }}"
        api_host: "{{ pve_api_host }}"
        vmid: "{{ pve_template_vm_id }}"
        state: stopped
        force: true
        timeout: 610
      delegate_to: localhost

Expected Results

I expected to be able to specify a shorter timeout than 10 minutes for the force shutdown to apply.

Actual Results

Proxmox will halt the VM after 10 minutes, but it's too long.

A timeout parameter should be added in plugins/modules/proxmox_kvm.py#L1058

As far as I can see there is no timeout option for deleting QEMU virtual machine.

EDIT. My bad. We were talking about stopping VM, not deleting it. Then yeah, there is a timeout option.
