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.
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.

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.

This reapplies an earlier change, when this plugin was first introduced to
Mitogen. The plugin was updated to fix
[DEPRECATION WARNING]: The '_remote_checksum()' method is deprecated.
I've elected to short-circuit the if statemtn logic, rather than
deleting/unindenting, to make the code delta much smaller. This should make it
easier to maintain/update.
Fixes#915
The ansible_mitogen test suite takes over an hour when Ansible is not
accelerated by Mitogen. This change aims to reduce that by skipping
tests with a large number of iterations when the linear strategy is
chosen.
The tagged tests are intended to uncover Mitogen resource leaks. Since
Mitogen is not invoked when strategy=linear, the slight reduction in
test coverage is an acceptable trade off.
These are not part of the official testing regime (tests run for pull
requests). I find them convenient for local development.
Limitations
- Python 2.7+ only. No Python 2.4, 2.5, or 2.6.
- Requires Pythons pre-installed (e.g. DeadSnakes, pyenv)
- No coverage of alternate controller OS (e.g. MacOS)
The environments tested by default are
py27-mode_ansible-ansible2.10
py36-mode_ansible-ansible2.10
py39-mode_ansible-ansible2.10
py27-mode_mitogen
py36-mode_mitogen
py39-mode_mitogen
py27-mode_mitogen-distro_centos7
py36-mode_mitogen-distro_centos7
py39-mode_mitogen-distro_centos7
The undocumented 'tmp' parameter controls whether _execute_module()
would delete anything on 2.3, so mimic that. This means
_execute_remove_stat() calls will not blow away the temp directory,
which broke the unarchive plugin.
