The ansible_mitogen test suite takes over an hour when Ansible is not
accelerated by Mitogen. This change aims to reduce that by skipping
tests with a large number of iterations when the linear strategy is
chosen.
The tagged tests are intended to uncover Mitogen resource leaks. Since
Mitogen is not invoked when strategy=linear, the slight reduction in
test coverage is an acceptable trade off.
These are not part of the official testing regime (tests run for pull
requests). I find them convenient for local development.
Limitations
- Python 2.7+ only. No Python 2.4, 2.5, or 2.6.
- Requires Pythons pre-installed (e.g. DeadSnakes, pyenv)
- No coverage of alternate controller OS (e.g. MacOS)
The environments tested by default are
py27-mode_ansible-ansible2.10
py36-mode_ansible-ansible2.10
py39-mode_ansible-ansible2.10
py27-mode_mitogen
py36-mode_mitogen
py39-mode_mitogen
py27-mode_mitogen-distro_centos7
py36-mode_mitogen-distro_centos7
py39-mode_mitogen-distro_centos7
The environment variable DISTRO is used to set the target Docker image
used when running the Mitogen unit tests. DISTROS is used for the
Ansible integration tests. VER sets the version of Ansible that is
installed on the controller.
When MODE=Mitogen
- there is no need to set VER, because nothing that installs Ansible
- it does not make sense to set DISTROS.
CALLBACK_VERSION et al are documented as required in
https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/2.10/dev_guide/developing_plugins.html#callback-plugins.
The need for document_fragment is noted in
cfa8075537/lib/ansible/plugins/callback/default.py (L28-L32)Fixes#758
This addresses the following error, seen while running
`ansible_tests.py`.

```
- don't create a new connection during reset if no existing connection
exists
- strip off last hop in connection stack if PlayContext.become is True.
- log a debug message if reset cannot find an existing connection
Logs were broken because ADD_ROUTE was being sent *after* messages
started flowing from the new child. That's an explicit non-goal of the
design, so fix it.
