Bugfix: zypper issue with specified package versions (#4421) (#4446)

* fixed issue with specified package versions

zypper.py was doing nothing on state=present, when ALL requestet/checked packages had a specific version stated. This was caused by get_installed_state() being called with an empty package list, which in this case returns information about all ALL installed packages. This lead to an exessive filter list prerun_state, essentially removing all packages that are installed in ANY version on the target system from the request list.

* Create 4421-zypper_package_version_handling_fix

added changelog fragment for https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/4421

* Delete 4421-zypper_package_version_handling_fix

* Create 4421-zypper_package_version_handling_fix.yml

(cherry picked from commit bbe231e261)
