revert all volumes of a certain protection group snapshot #993

Description

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
We would like to revert all volumes of a protection group snapshot using the Ansible module purestorage.flasharray.purefa_pgsnap. This capability would be a must‑have feature for the module, as it would significantly reduce the amount of additional manual work currently required.

Describe the solution you'd like
Currently, it is necessary to specify each individual volume contained in a protection group snapshot. Instead, we would prefer a simpler approach where the "restore" parameter of the purestorage.flasharray.purefa_pgsnap module could be set to all. This would automatically revert all volumes associated with the specified protection group snapshot without requiring them to be listed individually.

Describe alternatives you've considered
At the moment, there is no practical alternative. One must first determine all individual volumes belonging to a specific protection group snapshot and then restore them separately.

Additional context
When reverting a protection group at the client level—for example, by running the command "purepgroup copy ..."—the process works out of the box and does not require specifying each individual volume. A similar behavior in the Ansible module would greatly simplify automation workflows.
