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`.

The test `tests_switch_provider.yml` fails to run with
`ANSIBLE_GATHERING=explicit` with the error described below. Therefore,
include the task 'el_repo_setup.yml' before running the test which
supports gathering the minimum subset of facts required.
```
TASK [set fact to use initscripts network_provider]
task path: /tmp/tmp.Q6nP8W4iPS/rhel_system_roles/tests/network/playbooks/tests_switch_provider.yml:8
fatal: [/tmp/tmp.Q6nP8W4iPS/RHEL_8_8_TESTING.qcow2]: FAILED! => {}
MSG:
The conditional check 'ansible_distribution in ['CentOS', 'RedHat'] and
ansible_distribution_major_version in ['7', '8']' failed. The error
was: error while evaluating conditional (ansible_distribution in
['CentOS', 'RedHat'] and ansible_distribution_major_version in
['7', '8']): 'ansible_distribution' is undefined.

The initscripts provider tests are unstable on Fedora and users are not
using the initscripts on Fedora, therefore, disable all initscripts
provider tests on Fedora.

Problem:
After `tests_bridge_initscripts.yml` passed, the `tests_bridge_nm.yml`
will fail with NetworkManager 1.18.
Root cause:
1. The `absent` and `down` action of initscript provider will not
remove the bridge interface which fail the assertion in
`tests_bridge_nm.yml`.
2. In initscript mode, network role will create ifcfg file with
`NM_CONTROLLED=no` instructing NetworkManager to mark the bridge as
unmanaged. The follow up `down` and `absent` action of initscript
provider will not change the NetworkManager's understanding on
unmanaged state of this interface.
Fixes:
1. We cannot change existing behaviour of initscript on not deleting
interface in `down` and `absent` action. So we change the test
function `tests/playbooks/down_profile.yml` to delete the interface
manually via `ip link del <ifname>` command.
2. Use `NM.Client.reload_connections_async()` to reload the
configuration for nm provider on NetworkManager 1.18.
Previous test infrastructure is running each test file in a brand new VM
or container which cause this problem not been found before.
Dedicate test case `tests/tests_switch_provider.yml` included.
