This will allow a single job to be required in the GitHub branch protection
web UI; regardless of which jobs are added to or removed from the matrix of
platform specific, Ansible specific jobs.
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.

By switching to block style (`|`) with clip (no `-` or `+`) the failure
messages don't require quoting and gain a single trailing newline. This causes
Ansible to print them as block style, when using the yaml stdout callback
plugin. As a result the values have one less layer of quoting and quote
escaping, making them much easier to read.
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.

This replicate the existing Azure DevOps workflow, and adds a couple of new
jobs (Python 2.7 on macOS, Python + vanilla Ansible on Linux).
The GitHub Actions use container images hosted on GitHub Container Registry
(GHCR, ghcr.io/mitogen-hq). These images have been copied straight from the
existing Amazon Elastic Cloud Registry (AWS ECR, public.ecr.aws/n5z0e8q9).
A short period of parallel running is planned. Then a second PR will remove
the Azure DevOps workflow.
This replaces the use of `os.path.realpath()` which gave incorrect results on
macOS - depending on the exact Python build, Python version, macOS version,
installation method, and phase of the moon.
realpath information kept around to aid debugging.
CI containers lack the necessary `setfacl` command. This has not previously
been noticed because no vanilla Ansible jobs were being run on Linux, only on
macOS.
refs #1118
Preperation for migrating from Azure DevOps with Amazon Elastic Container
Registry (AWS ECR), to GitHub Actions with GitHub Container Registry (GHCR).
DebOps tests are not currently being run, the updates to .ci/debops*.py are
best effort only.
Rough guidelines, in decending preference:
- Use mitogen.core if possible
- Use ansible.module_utils.six if possible
- Embed a getattr() or try/except
viewkeys() et al can't be brought into mitogen.core because that package still
targets Python 2.4. dict.viewkeys() were introduced in Python 2.7.
