Update protocol removal notice in purefa_host.py

[sdodsley]

SUMMARY

Problem

Users running ansible-core 2.19 or later receive the following error when using the purefa_host module with the protocol parameter:

Task failed: Module failed: collection_name must consist of two non-keyword identifiers separated by '.'

Root Cause

In plugins/modules/purefa_host.py, the protocol parameter in the argument_spec has an incorrectly set removed_from_collection value:

protocol=dict(
    type="str",
    choices=["fc", "iscsi", "nvme", "mixed"],
    removed_from_collection="1.13",   # <-- wrong: this is a version number, not a collection name
    removed_in_version="2.0.0",
),

removed_from_collection must be a collection name in namespace.collection format. The value "1.13" is a version number that was incorrectly placed here, likely meaning "deprecated since collection version 1.13"
.
ansible-core 2.19 introduced strict runtime validation of this field via validate_collection_name() in ansible/module_utils/_internal/_validation.py. When a task passes protocol as a parameter, ansible-core processes the deprecation, calls deprecator_from_collection_name("1.13"), and raises a ValueError because "1.13" is not a valid namespace.collection string. Older ansible-core versions silently ignored this malformed value.

Fix

Set removed_from_collection to the correct collection name:

protocol=dict(
    type="str",
    choices=["fc", "iscsi", "nvme", "mixed"],
    removed_from_collection="purestorage.flasharray",
    removed_in_version="2.0.0",
),
