proxmox_kvm: fix idempotency issue with state=absent (#811)
When the `vmid` parameter is not supplied and the module can only rely on
name look-up an early failure can happen if the targeted VM doesn't exist.
In this case a task execution with the parameter `state` set to `absent`
will actually fail instead of being considered ok.

This patch introduces a deferred error-checking for non-existent VMs
by assigning the value -1 to the `vmid` parameter, allowing the actual
verification to be performed in the right code paths.
Is also help to differentiate between a non-existent `vmid` or non-existent
VM `name`.

Previously:

    TASK [ansible-role-proxmox-instance : Remove instance-test]
    changed: [localhost]
    ...
    TASK [ansible-role-proxmox-instance : Remove instance-test]
    fatal: [localhost]: FAILED! => changed=false
      msg: VM instance-test does not exist in cluster.

Now:

    TASK [ansible-role-proxmox-instance : Remove instance-test]
    ok: [localhost]
    ...
    TASK [ansible-role-proxmox-instance : Remove instance-test]
    ok: [localhost]

Update changelogs/fragments/811-proxmox-kvm-state-absent.yml

bugfixes:
- proxmox_kvm - defer error-checking for non-existent VMs in order to fix idempotency of tasks using ``state=absent`` and properly recognize a success (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/811).
