feat: epld upgrade with nxos

SUMMARY

Add an optional parameter "epld_image_file" to the cisco.nxos.nxos_install_os command. If the parameter is not specified (default), the upgrade behavior remains unchanged. If an EPLD file is provided, the installation command will be modified to include the EPLD update alongside the NXOS image update. The command used will then be "install all nxos <...> epld <...>".

Note: Updating the EPLDs results in a longer upgrade time. Be sure to adjust the ansible_command_timeout variable accordingly.
