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
This reverse shell was historically used to debug CI jobs interactively.
It is not used anymore, and may be causing jobs to hang, then timeout.
There is no reason to keep it, and removing it simplifies CI jobs.
Additionally it has been reported as flagged by security scanners, so
removing it makes Mitogen easier to package/adopt.

The Travis Linux distribution must be upgraded because the Trusty
(Ubuntu 14.04) image does not have Python 3.9. Xenial (Ubuntu 16.04) is
the earliest version that offers Python 3.9.
I have not chosen a later release, in order to aid restoration of Python
2.4 - 2.6 tests.
CALLBACK_VERSION et al are documented as required in
https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/2.10/dev_guide/developing_plugins.html#callback-plugins.
The need for document_fragment is noted in

Ansible has no blocking services running, or really any service that
would have an outsized benefit from multiple IO waiters. Probably we
only need 1, but let's start with 2 just in case.
