Port changes from main to refactored branch
Depends-on: ansible/ansible-zuul-jobs#1563
SUMMARY
This PR contains several commits that complete the rebase of the 2.x-refactor branch onto main. Most of the changes here had to be manually backported after rebasing as the original changes were to code that will be deprecated. In addition, rather than trying to manually sort out conflicts and changes to the sanity ignores, I rewrote the refresh_ignore_files script to fully automate the management of ignore files. Previously, these files were both manually edited and auto-generated. This should no longer be the case, and these files should never be manually edited going forward.
For the purposes of reviewing and history, I kept all changes in separate commits tied to the original commit being backported.
