Alex Willmer 8a34b925a4 tests: Re-enable become/sudo tests, fix them on macOS runners
The tasks in tests/imageprep/_user_accounts.yml that create users did not
specify a primary group for those users - this left the decision to Ansible's
user module, and/or the underlying OS. In Ansible 9+ (ansible-core 2.16+ the
user module defaults to primary group "staff." Earlier don't supply a default,
which releases probably results in a primary group nameed "None" (due to
stringifying the Python singleton of the same name), or whatever the macOS
Directory Services has for no data/NULL.

The invalid GID 4294967295 (MAX_UINT32 == 2**32-1) in the sudo error probably
enters the mix via something similar to sudo CVE-2019-14287.

Fixes #692

README.md

tests/ansible Directory

This is an an organically growing collection of integration and regression tests used for development and end-user bug reports.

It will be tidied up over time, meanwhile, the playbooks here are a useful demonstrator for what does and doesn't work.

Preparation

See ../image_prep/README.md.

run_ansible_playbook.py

This is necessary to set some environment variables used by future tests, as there appears to be no better way to inject them into the top-level process environment before the Mitogen connection process forks.

Running Everything

ANSIBLE_STRATEGY=mitogen_linear ./run_ansible_playbook.py all.yml

hosts/ and common-hosts

To support running the tests against a dev machine that has the requisite user accounts, the the default inventory is a directory containing a 'localhost' file that defines 'localhost' to be named 'target' in Ansible inventory, and a symlink to 'common-hosts', which defines additional targets that all derive from 'target'.

This allows ansible_tests.sh to reuse the common-hosts definitions while replacing localhost as the test target by creating a new directory that similarly symlinks in common-hosts.

There may be a better solution for this, but it works fine for now.
