Previously the community.proxmox.proxmox / proxmox_vm_info module_defaults
were defined inline on the outer block in main.yml. Invoking individual
task files via 'tasks_from: stop' (or delete/convert/etc.) bypassed
main.yml, leaving the API parameters unset and producing
'missing required arguments: api_host, api_user' errors. The README
worked around this by telling callers to repeat the module_defaults
block at the play level — easy to forget, and duplicated config.
Extract the defaults dict into _proxmox_module_defaults in
defaults/main.yml (using a YAML anchor to share between the two
modules), and wrap every task file that calls a Proxmox module in a
block that references it. Callers only need the proxmox_* connection
vars in scope (typically group_vars/all/) — both 'roles:' and
'tasks_from:' invocations now configure the API consistently.
Files wrapped: check-exists, create, clone, update, start, stop,
delete, convert. wait/post-clone/edit-config don't call Proxmox modules
and are unchanged. main.yml's now-redundant outer module_defaults is
removed.
README updated to drop the 'Using Standalone Tasks' workaround
boilerplate.
