This adapts PR #740 by @extmind (afe0026890),
which augmented the call to `Connection.get_task_var()` with
`C.config.get_config_value('INTERPRETER_PYTHON'` as a default. Instead this
*replaces* the call to `Connection.get_task_var()`. The aim is greater
simplicity by disentangling templating of a configured interpreter path and
discovery of an interpreter when none is configured. I think this also reduces
the number of times `Connection._get_task_vars()` is called, so reducing the
number of times we do the ugly stack frame inspection.
I've also added test cases.

Ansible >= 4 (ansible-core >= 2.11) the SSH plugin has a `timeout` option and
with variable `ansible_ssh_timeout`, but not a `ansible_timeout` variable.
The local plugin has no such option or variable(s). However `ansible_timeout`
is backfilled for all conection plugins, by legacy mechanisms that populate
the play context attribute:
- `ansible.constants.COMMON_CONNECTION_VARS`
- `ansible.constants.MAGIC_VARIABLE_MAPPING`
The `timeout` keyword is for task completion timeout, not connection timeout.
This will mitigate the impact of #1185 a little, which causes the job to
continue running without making progress, until it hits this timeout.
Successful jobs are typically completing in 8 - 12 minutes.
refs #1185
The previous commit (53b4881628 in PR 1200) was
not intended to change these values, but some WIP slipped through. This
partially reverts that commit so the two changes (moving the monkey patch,
making the monkey patch more capable) exist in distinct commits.
This tightens up our monkey patching `Connection._action` so it's only applied
during `meta: reset_connection` & promptly removed. This fixes "'int' object
has no attribute 'template'" when `ansible.plugins.action.wait_for_connection`
or other code calls `ansible.plugins.connection.ConnectionBase.reset()`.
This could also have switched to `templar=templar` on the temporary action,
rather than `templar=0`, but it's not strictly necessary to fix this bug. I
anticipate other changes doing so soon, to improve interpreter discovery &
templated python interpreter path support.
The code change to support this was already made in transport_config.py, as
part of templated become_user support (commit bf6607e27e, PR #1148). This
commit adds tests to confirm the functionality.
A twist - for the connection option "host" the corresponding legacy
PlayContext attribute is PlayContext.remote_addr. This may be the only case
where a connection option name and the PlayContext attribute name differ.
This is ground work for adding/testing templated hostnames and python
interpreters. The extreme wideness will hopefully be temporary, e.g. by
switching to YAML inventories. The INI inventory plugin doesn't support
multiline host entries.

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.
