Cleaning up aliases skips

The skip statements in tests/integration/targets/*/aliases files may contain specific OSes and their versions.

For example:

skip/rhel8.8
skip/centos6
skip/macos

Those items being skipped are called remotes and they come from the file test/lib/ansible_test/_data/completion/remote.txt in the ansible-core repository. Eventually, these remotes are removed from that ansible_test config, but they keep silently cluttering the aliases files here.

The scripts list-remotes and clean-aliases-skips can help you remove those entries from the aliases files. For that, you will need to have a clone of the ansible-core repository in your machine.

In the example below, the path to that repo is ../ansible:

./tests/utils/list-remotes ../ansible

Note: The supported versions of ansible-core are hardcoded in list-remotes. Those should be updated or automated in the future.

To remove all the skips that are not in that list, you should run:

./tests/utils/list-remotes ../ansible | ./tests/utils/clean-aliases-skips

Make sure to thoroughly review the changes before committing!
