The code change to support this was already made in transport_config.py, as
part of templated become_user support (commit bf6607e27e, PR #1148). This
commit adds tests to confirm the functionality.
A twist - for the connection option "host" the corresponding legacy
PlayContext attribute is PlayContext.remote_addr. This may be the only case
where a connection option name and the PlayContext attribute name differ.
This is ground work for adding/testing templated hostnames and python
interpreters. The extreme wideness will hopefully be temporary, e.g. by
switching to YAML inventories. The INI inventory plugin doesn't support
multiline host entries.

Adding a the tt-ssh-executable test target uncovered an Ansible bug during
`meta: reset_connection` tasks. So this commit includes a workaround for
affected versions of Ansible.
Uses the same fallback for (mitogen_sudo et al) as become_exe (see #1173).
The new `Spec.become_flags()` is not yet explicitly tested. Note that it
returns a string (matching the Ansible option of the same name), whereas
`Spec.sudo_args()` returns a list.

Some ansible_mitogen connection plugins look more like become plugins (e.g.
mitogen_sudo) & use become plugin options. For now there's special handling in
PlayContextSpec._become_option(). Further design/discussion can go in #1173.
Refs #1087.
This reads the become username from the `become_user` attribute of the play
context, to the `"become_user"` option of the loaded become plugin. This has
been supported by vanilla Ansible since Ansible 2.10 (ansible-base 2.10).
To support this I've also switched from using the `play_context.become` (a
bool), to `connection.become` (an instance of the appropriate) become plugin.
New tests have been added, modelled on those for templated connection
parameters (see #1147, #1153, #1159).

These targets are not used by any active tests, and the large numbers of hosts
multiply the size of the taskvars disctionary in memory to many (10s) MiB.

This switches `ansible_mitogen.transport_config.PlayContextSpec.password()` to
Ansible's plugin option framework. As a result
- The relatively recent `ansible_ssh_password` variable is now respected.
- The SSH connection password can be templated and specified as a play
variable. Task variables will probably also work, but testing was blocked
by #1132.
There is a chance this change will cause a regression in another connection
plugin (e.g. mitogen_docker), but nothing turned up in the test suite.
I intend ot migrate other connection configuration to
`ansible_mitogen.transport_config.PlayContextSpec._connect_option()`, the next
candidate is the remote port.

By setting ansible_python_interpreter for these fictious hosts we avoid
Ansible trying and failing to connect to them in a attempt to populate
ansible_facts.discovered_interpreter_python. This speeds up these tests by
avoiding a timeout.
It is also a necessary pre-requisite for Ansible 10 (ansible-core 2.17). In
that release no hardcoded fallback is used, failure to determine a valid
Python interpreter is a fatal error.

Until Ansible 2.9 it looks like ansible_become_password had higher priority.
From Ansible 2.10 ansible_become_pass has higher priority [1]. Mitogen was not
respecting this.
I may need to rework this further, instatiating the become plugin may have
slowed down execution.

The idea behind transport=smart is to select between paramiko and
OpenSSH given the availability of connection multiplexing and/or OSX
kernel bugs. We need to make no such choice.
This was needed at some point in the past, but the tests don't seem to
care about it any more. We'll fix any CI breakage by changing the tests,
since verifying implicit localhost behaviour is important.
