Subject: [PATCH] refactor: Remove MD5 calculation from node files listing

Remove MD5 checksum calculation from the node files API since
disk image files are dynamic and change frequently. MD5 calculation
was also causing significant performance overhead.

Changes:
- Remove md5sum field from NodeFile schema
- Remove MD5 calculation from list_node_files method
- Improve error handling for timestamp conversion
- Simplify code by removing lambda functions

Performance improvement:
- Response time reduced from ~0.5-1s to ~0.017s (30-60x faster)
- Especially beneficial for large files and multiple files
