Relying on the virtualenv default or hardcoding "python" results in a Python
2.x virtualenv on some targets (e.g. debian10-test). This caused a failure
when testing with Ansible >= 10 (ansible-core >= 2.17), which have dropped
Python 2.x support.

By setting ansible_python_interpreter for these fictious hosts we avoid
Ansible trying and failing to connect to them in a attempt to populate
ansible_facts.discovered_interpreter_python. This speeds up these tests by
avoiding a timeout.
It is also a necessary pre-requisite for Ansible 10 (ansible-core 2.17). In
that release no hardcoded fallback is used, failure to determine a valid
Python interpreter is a fatal error.

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.

Pip 72 was released yesterday (2024-07-28), dropping `setup.py test` support.
hdrhistogram 0.6.1 requires it to install.
For now constrain Pip to earlier releases, so our tests can be run.

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.

CentOS 8 has reached EOL. Packages are no longer mirrored or maintained. A
historic snapshot of the packages is kept on vault.centos.org.
refs #1088, #1090
`mitogen.parent.POLLER_LIGHTWEIGHT` will normally be `PollPoller`, falling
back to `EpollPoller`, `KqueuePoller`, or `Poller`.

Follwing fixes in Ansible 7-9 for CVE-2023-5764 cating `AnsibleUnsafeBytes` &
`AnsibleUnsafeText` to `bytes()` or `str()` requires special handling. The
handling is Ansible specific, so it shouldn't go in the mitogen package but
rather the ansible_mitogen package.
`ansible_mitogen.utils.unsafe.cast()` is most like `mitogen.utils.cast()`.
During development it began as `ansible_mitogen.utils.unsafe.unwrap_var()`,
closer to an inverse of `ansible.utils.unsafe_procy.wrap_var()`. Future
enhancements may move in this direction.
