Ansible 2.20 has deprecated the use of Ansible facts as variables. For
example, `ansible_distribution` is now deprecated in favor of
`ansible_facts["distribution"]`. This is due to making the default
setting `INJECT_FACTS_AS_VARS=false`. For now, this will create WARNING
messages, but in Ansible 2.24 it will be an error.

The old ansible-community ansible-lint is deprecated. There is a
new ansible-lint github action. The new ansible-lint has several checks
related to ansible-test and the ignore files. Many of our ignore settings
are not allowed any more and are required to be fixed or addressed in the
Ansible preferred way.
The python imports have to be wrapped in a try/except ImportError, and
where possible, an error must be returned from the module explaining
what was not able to be imported.
The module documentation must comply with the Ansible standards. One
aspect of this is the `version_added` must be a valid ansible-core
version in X.Y.Z format. Note that this version isn't really used
anywhere, so it doesn't matter for users of the role, it is purely
an `ansible-test` and import gating issue.
The result of this is that the .sanity files can be reduced to the
bare minimum which will greatly reduce the maintenance burden of
those files, make it easier to support newer versions of Ansible,
and make it easier to import the system roles collection into Galaxy
and Automation Hub.
The latest Ansible repo gating tests run ansible-lint against
the collection format instead of against individual roles.
We have to convert the role to collection format before running
ansible-test.
Role developers can run this locally using
`tox -e collection,ansible-lint-collection`
See https://github.com/linux-system-roles/tox-lsr/pull/125
Add `---` doc start to .markdownlint.yaml
The file `examples/down_profile+delete_interface.yml`
was not used and was causing ansible-lint errors.
ansible-lint enforces the order of keywords in plays - `name`,
then `hosts`, then `vars`, then `tasks`.

Rather than having to maintain .yamllint.yml with a list of files
exempt from yamllint line-length checking, either fix the code
to abide by the line length restriction, or put the yamllint
exceptions in-line in the code.

The users want to apply the nmstate network state configuration to the
interface directly through the role, which necessitates the less
complexity of the network configuration and allows the partial
configuration on the network.
To warrant that the users are capable to apply the nmstate network state
configuration, add the support for the `network_state` variable.
