Let get_file_attributes() work without lsattr -v (#71845)
* Let get_file_attributes() work without `lsattr -v`

Change:
- module_utils's get_file_attributes() expects `lsattr -v` to work, but
  in some cases, it may not.
- The function now takes an optional include_version bool parameter,
  which removes this expectation.
- Places where we call get_file_attributes() without using the 'version'
  it returns, we now call it with include_version=False.

Test Plan:
- New unit tests

minor_changes:
- module_utils - ``get_file_attributes()`` now takes an optional ``include_version`` boolean parameter. When ``True`` (default), the file's version/generation number is included in the result (but requires ``lsattr -v`` to work on the target platform).
