Overview of the Issue

1, very similar to hashicorp/packer#11656, but on alicloud
2, tried with "temporary_key_pair_type": "ed25519" as well
it seems the packer-plugin-alicloud does support "temporary_key_pair_type" - https://developer.hashicorp.com/packer/integrations/hashicorp/alicloud/latest/components/builder/alicloud-ecs
