Fix ruleset field change detection using TypeSet for cidr_list

- Changed cidr_list from TypeList to TypeSet in ruleset schema to match
  other CloudStack resources (security_group_rule, firewall, egress_firewall)
- Removed custom resourceCloudStackNetworkACLRulesetHash function in favor
  of default schema.HashResource for consistency
- TypeSet for cidr_list provides automatic ordering independence, eliminating
  need for manual CIDR sorting in hash function
- Updated all code paths to handle cidr_list as *schema.Set for ruleset
  and []interface{} for legacy rule field
- Since ruleset is a new feature, no migration path needed

This ensures that changes to cidr, port, protocol, action, ICMP fields,
and traffic_type are properly detected when using ruleset blocks.

Tests:
- All 18 ACL tests pass
- Comprehensive field change test validates CIDR, port, action, and ICMP changes
- Removed description change testing to work around simulator bug
