Snapshot names are getting converted when the name contains data and time

[Rakesh2904]

SUMMARY

While using this module to gather the snapshot info, in cases where the snapshot name has date and time mentioned too the module is converting the date into unreadable format since I'm using this as a variable in the subsequent task to delete the snapshots

Ex: "name": "VM Snapshot 8%2f23%2f2023, 8:38:26 AM", the actual name is like this "VM Snapshot 11/2/2023, 10:31:24 AM'
