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.
```

This commit also removes the last references to ECR.
This adapts PR #740 by @extmind (afe0026890),
which augmented the call to `Connection.get_task_var()` with
`C.config.get_config_value('INTERPRETER_PYTHON'` as a default. Instead this
*replaces* the call to `Connection.get_task_var()`. The aim is greater
simplicity by disentangling templating of a configured interpreter path and
discovery of an interpreter when none is configured. I think this also reduces
the number of times `Connection._get_task_vars()` is called, so reducing the
number of times we do the ugly stack frame inspection.
I've also added test cases.

Ansible >= 4 (ansible-core >= 2.11) the SSH plugin has a `timeout` option and
with variable `ansible_ssh_timeout`, but not a `ansible_timeout` variable.
The local plugin has no such option or variable(s). However `ansible_timeout`
is backfilled for all conection plugins, by legacy mechanisms that populate
the play context attribute:
- `ansible.constants.COMMON_CONNECTION_VARS`
- `ansible.constants.MAGIC_VARIABLE_MAPPING`
The `timeout` keyword is for task completion timeout, not connection timeout.
This tightens up our monkey patching `Connection._action` so it's only applied
during `meta: reset_connection` & promptly removed. This fixes "'int' object
has no attribute 'template'" when `ansible.plugins.action.wait_for_connection`
or other code calls `ansible.plugins.connection.ConnectionBase.reset()`.
This could also have switched to `templar=templar` on the temporary action,
rather than `templar=0`, but it's not strictly necessary to fix this bug. I
anticipate other changes doing so soon, to improve interpreter discovery &
templated python interpreter path support.
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.

The wrong base was used when calculating the mode. So the file became world
readable and writable on a CI runner, until
ansible/integration/ssh/variables.yml happened to correct it near the end of
the integration tests.
I believe this was the only instance.

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.
refs #1083
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.
The tasks in tests/imageprep/_user_accounts.yml that create users did not
specify a primary group for those users - this left the decision to Ansible's
user module, and/or the underlying OS. In Ansible 9+ (ansible-core 2.16+ the
user module defaults to primary group "staff." Earlier don't supply a default,
which releases probably results in a primary group nameed "None" (due to
stringifying the Python singleton of the same name), or whatever the macOS
Directory Services has for no data/NULL.
The invalid GID 4294967295 (MAX_UINT32 == 2**32-1) in the sudo error probably
enters the mix via something similar to sudo CVE-2019-14287.

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).

This reduces the number of jobs from 48 to 24. The Mitogen part of the test
suite has been parameterized on the Linux container targets to be run against.
Both the Ansible tests & Mitogen tests now use the same source of truth to
control which targets to use: environment variable MITOGEN_TEST_DISTRO_SPECS.
This replaces the two mutually exclusive env vars DISTRO and DISTROS. I've
also removed vestgial traces of an unused env var MITOGEN_TEST_DISTRO.
