Bug Description

When running the role sap_swpm while there is more than one file SWPM*SAR in the directory specified by sap_swpm_swpm_path, the role fails in task SAP SWPM Pre Install - Check availability of SWPM.

After ensuring that in this directory there is only one file with the pattern SWPM*SAR, the role proceeds as expected.

Bug reproduction

1. Download and place two different files with the pattern SWPM*SAR in the directory specified by sap_swpm_swpm_path, for example: SWPM20SP20_1-70003174.SAR and SWPM20SP20_1-80003424.SAR.
2. Run the playbook which calls the role sap_swpm.
3. Wait until the playbook exits at the failing task.

Happy to implement this bug fix

If this is being updated, as a further precaution it should also check the SWPM file is the correct ELF compile as the target host - i.e. x86_64, ppc64le, s390x. Given above is 2 different SWPM compressed archives for different CPU Arch
