proxmox_kvm: Allow API port to be specified

[Thomas Gouverneur]

Summary

Hello,

I've started using proxmox_kvm from this repository to create VMs on my proxmox cluster. While setting it up, I've noticed there was no way to specify the API port to be used against the api_host. This is a problem for me as I have a reverse proxy behind my proxmox API that does handle SSL certificate and balancing against my nodes, so I would rather use this instead of connecting to any particular node.

I've already implemented the necessary changes on modules_utils/proxmox.py and tested them against my use case and it's working.

I'd eventually would like to submit a PR for this change if anyone thinks it's valuable enough.

Isn't it possible to just add the port to the host like my.cluster.com:443?
