CentOS 8 images are not supported anymore, and we are using CentOS 8
Stream images.
This patch removes all configuration for CentOS 8 and updates test
README to point to the available container images.
The correct name for upcoming release of CentOS is CentOS 9 Stream,
usually abbreviated to 'c9s'. As we need to differentiate from the
stream and the standard versions, this patch modifies the Azure
piipelines to use 'c9s' instead of 'CentOS 9'.
Newer Ansible versions will require at least Python 3.8 to be used,
and the build containers pipeline was requiring Python 3.6, which is
EOL.
This patch requests the latest Python version available for the
controller, and allows it to be configured to a specific version if,
and when, needed.
Add configuration to build a testing CentOS 8 stream image and to
execute upstream tests using that image in pull requests (Ansible
2.9) and on the nightly tests (all supported Ansible versions).
CentOS 9 Stream package pytho3-devel was not installable, and as it is
not required for the testing container, it was removed from the
Dockerfile used to create the image.
This disables the generation of the collection using the default
galaxy.yml. The installation of the generated collection fails with
invalid version A.B.C.
The collection is not used when building containers and the generated
collection is not using proper name and namespace in the collection files.

The collection is not used in the tests and the generated collection

Note: utils/build-galaxy-releasesh needs to be used to generate the correct
collection.
Sometimes the first test of a batch fails because it fails to grant a
TGT from Kerberos KDC as it is not yet fully working. By waiting until
a TGT can be acquired, these failures will not happen anymore.
Currently, upstream CI test documentation against different Ansible
versions, but playbook tests are only executed with Ansible 2.9 series.
This patch add support for running playbook tests against Ansible 2.9,
ansible-core 2.11, and against latest version of Ansible.
As running all the tests for every PR would take too long, the tests
for every PR use only Anisble 2.9, and are executed on Fedora-latest
and CentOS 7 and 8.
A new pipeline for nightly tests was added, which runs the tests in the
same distros, using Ansible 2.9, latest and Ansible-core 2.11.
In CentOS 8 and also Fedora the configuration and start of chrony
fails with
Fatal error : adjtimex(0x8001) failed : Operation not permitted

NTP will not be needed before a separate namespace is used for clocks.
Building containers for CentOS and Fedora were failing due to image
download failure. The container build process was fixed by changing
the base images.
Ansible best practice is to not use `latest` for the `package` module
state. As we want to use it in the case of nss, this change will
disable checking for this case.
Added a pipeline file (tests/azure/build-containers.yml) to build test
containers and upload them to quay.io. The pipeline will create
containers with IPA pre-installed for testing proposes on three
different Linux containers: CentOS 7, CentOS 8 and Fedora Latest.
* Adapted tests/test_playbook_runs.py script to allow tests to be
executed from a docker container.
* Added molecule scenarios to create/destroy test containers and
respective documentation in tests/README.md.
