Some tests have been seen deadlocked. They continued running for an hour+,
until the default Github timeout. Linux timeout higher than macOS because the
Linux jobs run more tests.
The Van_* GitHub Actions jobs (corresponding to Tox factor strategy_linear,
environment variable ANSIBLE_STRATEGY=linear) were failing inside Mitogen
modules, which they should not touch. The jobs are intended as a cross
validation of the test suite, they should only fail if Ansible itself has a
problem.
Python 2.7 (distro package) and 3.6 (pyenv managed) jobs run on Ubuntu 22.04.
More recent Pythons (distro or Github provided) run on 24.04.

Ansible tasks that run locally (e.g. `connection: local`, `delegate_to:
localhost`) must now specify their `ansible_python_interpreter`, typically as
`{{ ansible_playbook_python }}`; otherwise the system Python on the controller
(e.g. `/usr/bin/python`) is likely to be used and this is often outside the
version range supported by the Ansible verison under test. If this occurs then
the symptom is often a failure to import a builtin from
`ansible.module_utils.six.moves`, e.g.
```

Previously (and implicitly) used "latest". The tag 2021 is new today, the
image contents have not changed since they were generated in 2021.
They have moved container registry twice since 2021
- #791 Docker -> Amazon Elastic Container Registry (public.ecr.aws/n5z0e8q)
- #1128 Amazon ECR -> GitHub Container Registry (ghcr.io/mitogen-hq)
This commit also removes the last references to ECR.
Each grouping gets an independant dir, e.g.
- ansible -> /tmp/mitogen_ci_ansible
- debops -> /tmp/mitogen_ci_debops
Importing ci_lib no longer creates a temporary directory as a side effect.
