refactor ♻️: Refactor fail2ban.yml for Proxmox cluster detection and configuration

This commit refactors the fail2ban.yml file to include support for detecting a Proxmox cluster, ensuring that pmxcfs is mounted, installing Fail2Ban, and configuring appropriate jails. This enhances the security and management of the Proxmox environment by automating the setup and monitoring of failed login attempts.
