Release 11.4.1.

omapi_host: fix bytes vs. str confusion (#11001)

* omapi_host: fix bytes vs. str confusion

After an update of the control node from Debian
bookworm to trixie, the omapi_host module fails to
work with the error message:

Key of type 'bytes' is not JSON serializable by the
'module_legacy_m2c' profile.

https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/85937 had the
same error, but the fix is a bit more intricate here
because the result dict is dynamically generated from
an API response object.

This also fixes unpacking the MAC and IP address and
hardware type, which were broken for Python3.

* Merge suggestion for changelog fragment



* do not unpack_ip twice

Noticed by Felix Fontein <felix@fontein.de>

* mention py3k in changelog fragment, too

---------

-## Devcontainer
-
-Since community.general 12.2.0, the project repository supports [devcontainers](https://containers.dev/). In short, it is a standard mechanism to
-create a container that is then used during the development cycle. Many tools are pre-installed in the container and will be already available
-to you as a developer. A number of different IDEs support that configuration, the most prominent ones being VSCode and PyCharm.
-
-See the files under [.devcontainer](.devcontainer) for details on what is deployed inside that container.
-
-Beware of:
-
-- By default, the devcontainer installs the latest version of `ansible-core`.
-  When testing your changes locally, keep in mind that the collection must support older versions of
-  `ansible-core` and, depending on what is being tested, results may vary.
-- Integration tests executed directly inside the devcontainer without isolation (see above) may fail if
-  they expected to be run in full fledged VMs. On the other hand, the devcontainer setup allows running
-  containers inside the container (the `docker-in-docker` feature).
-- The devcontainer is built with a directory structure such that
-  `.../ansible_collections/community/general` contains the project repository, so `ansible-test` and
-  other standard tools should work without any additional setup
-- By default, the devcontainer installs `pre-commit` and configures it to perform `ruff check` and
-  `ruff format` on the Python files, prior to commiting. That configuration is going to be used by
-  `git` even outside the devcontainer. To prevent errors, you have to either install `pre-commit` in
-  your computer, outside the devcontainer, or run `pre-commit uninstall` from within the devcontainer
-  before quitting it.
