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.
Parameterization adapted from

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.
Also
- Simplifies adding support for additional Ansible versions
- Unifies Python package versioning in CI and local test environments
- Matches Python versions tested, with those declared in setup.py
- Expands targets covered by automated Ansible tests to
- centos6, centos8
- debian9, debian11
- ubuntu1604, ubuntu2004
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.
