Improve linode_v4 module to match functionality of deprecated linode module

[decentral1se]

SUMMARY

As shown in #51060, we need to deprecate the old Linode module. In order to do this, we need to provide matching functionality in the new module. This is still not the case (I think a lot of resizing functionality is missing). This issue can track that progress. More details to come.

EDIT: By 'deprecated module', we mean deprecated API in Linode, not here in Ansible.

#51195 (resolved by #51196) goes in the right direction and is related!

EDIT: Woops, it's not related. The referenced PR is for the inventory plugin, not the module.

I won't be having to follow up on this in the end. Going to close off (please re-open on another ticket if needed, I use my issues as a TODO list). If anyone is coming into the Linode group or looking to further the Linode implementation, I'll pass them on this information.
