ansible-doc role arg spec support (#72120)

* Support listing roles in text and JSON

* Change tests for unfrack'd playbook_dir var

These tests were using '/tmp' for testing the setting of the playbook_dir
var. Now that we unfrack that var, MacOS will change this to '/private/tmp'
causing the tests to fail. We can choose a path that does not exist (since
unfrack does not validate existence) so that we can guarantee unfracking
will not change the value.
