Using https:// requires certificate store management and additional parameter
passing that changed across Ansible and Python versions. Using http:// allows
the same tests to be used across wider spans of Python version on the
controller, and Python verison on the targets.
Python 3.12 on a target + get_uri needs Ansible >= 8 (ansible-core >= 2.15).
Python 3.12 removed deprecated httplib.HTTPSConnection() arguments.

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 prevents unreleased versions appearing on the website (e.g. 0.3.5.dev0),
but introduces the risk of forgetting to update the website after a release.
A better fix requires deeper design/workflow thought.

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.

To do so the test suite allows a weak cryptographic alogorithm (SHA1) to be
used, principally for CentOS 6 targets. This can be removed if/when support
for older (legacy) targets is dropped.
Only the test suite enables this known weak alogorithm. Mitogen as-shipped
doesn't enable or disable algorithms.
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.
```

```
faulthandler is a stdlib module in Python 3.3+. For a long time a PyPI package
of the same name was available for earlier Python releases. That package has
since been removed from PyPI, and the source respoitory archived. So we should
not rely on it.

I'm not 100% confident that merely removing this is the full fix,
without substituting something else. I am sure keeping it would be
the greater of two evils. __del__() should be avoided on general
principal, and it's associated with multiple intermittant CI
failures, plus multiple user reported issues.
