Only the Mitogen unit tests will run against CentOS 5, providing atleast some
Python 2.4test coverage. There is no version of Ansible that supports Python
2.4 that is also supported by Mitogen 0.3.
The SSH key exchange argument is to persuade newer SSH clients to talk with
such an old SSH server.

centos8-test:2025.02 no longer has a /usr/bin/python installed, so use
centos8-py3 target which sets `ansible_python_interpreter=/usr/bin/python3` in
the templated inventory.
Ansible <= 9 (ansible-core <= 2.6) now discover the interpreter as
/usr/bin/python3 on debian11-test:2025.02, as opposed to
/usr/bin/python3.9 on debian11-test:2021. I'm don't know the exact
cause. From manual tests the change in observed behaviour appears to be common to
vanilla Ansible (strategy=linear) and Mitogen flavour
(strategy=mitogen_linear).
```console
(ans9) ➜ mitogen git:(4efb7158) ✗ ANSIBLE_STRATEGY=mitogen_linear ANSIBLE_STRATEGY_PLUGINS=ansible_mitogen/plugins/strategy ans9/bin/ansible -e ansible_python_interpreter=auto -mping d11.lan
d11.lan | SUCCESS => {

},
"changed": false,

}
```
Update some tests which assume `/usr/bin/python` exists or that `env python`
will resolve successfully.
Ansible 12 (ansible-core 2.19) has gained support for specifying an SSH
password, without requiring `sshpass`. It specifies the environment variable
`SSH_ASKPASS` such that `ansible` itself is called.
Mitogen is already able to support this. This change provides test coverage of
the new feature by not installing `sshpass` on macOS runners. when Ansible 12
is under test. Ubuntu runners come with `sshpass` pre-installed.
Required Ansible is also bumped to the latest pre-releases, for relevant
fixes.
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.
```

Previously (and implicitly) used "latest". The tag 2021 is new today, the
image contents have not changed since they were generated in 2021.
They have moved container registry twice since 2021
- #791 Docker -> Amazon Elastic Container Registry (public.ecr.aws/n5z0e8q)
- #1128 Amazon ECR -> GitHub Container Registry (ghcr.io/mitogen-hq)
This commit also removes the last references to ECR.
Each grouping gets an independant dir, e.g.
- ansible -> /tmp/mitogen_ci_ansible
- debops -> /tmp/mitogen_ci_debops
Importing ci_lib no longer creates a temporary directory as a side effect.
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.

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.

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.
To avoid rate limiting errors, CI (currently Azure Devops) logs into the
container registry (currently AWS ECR). Outside CI this is unnnecessary and
makes it harder to run the tests, because very few people have access to a
suitable AWS secret token.
Following this change `aws ecr-public get-login-password` will only be run if
the environment variable $TF_BUILD==True. This is set by Azure Pipelines
jobs. If the CI platform is changed then another indicator should be used.

macOS 11 is not longer an available runner on Azure Devops. The minimum is now
macOS 12. This runner does not have Python 2.7 installed, so running them
would require a custom install - which I'm declaring too much effort for too
little gain.
refs #1090
Most of the necessary changes were made in recent PEP 451 commits. This bumps
the CI jobs, and declares the support. Test dependendancies are bumped to
latest supportted/available versions.
refs #1033
importlib.machinery.ModuleSpec and find_spec() were introduced in Python 3.4
under PEP 451. They replace the find_module() API of PEP 302, which was
deprecated from Python 3.4. They were removed in Python 3.12 along with the
imp module.
This change adds support for the PEP 451 APIs. Mitogen should no longer import
imp on Python versions that support ModuleSpec. Tests have been added to cover
the new APIs.
CI jobs have been added to cover Python 3.x on macOS.

With current macOS 11 runner images (20231216.1) the `python` on `$PATH` is
Python 3.12 and setuptools isn't installed by default. E.g.

Installing setuptools under Python 3.12 chooses package versions incompatible
with Python 2.7. Additionally Mitogen isn't yet compatible with Python 3.12
(#1033), so tests that call a local context with `python` fail.
This should address the warning in Azure Pipelines
> You should provide GitHub token if you want to download a python release.
> Otherwise you may hit the GitHub anonymous download limit.
The token is provided from a secret variable in the pipeline.
I'm abandoning tox-factor because having any [tox] requires = ... causes tox
3.x to create an isolated virtualenv for running tox itself. Since Tox 4.x was
released that virtualenv gets it, which is incompatible with the tox-factor
plugin.
e.g.
```
Traceback (most recent call last):
