Rich MegginsonandRichard Megginson fa134b8aab ci: several changes related to new qemu test, ansible-lint, python versions, ubuntu versions
There is a new QEMU based test which uses the qemu/kvm capability of
github action runners.  This is the basis for new bootc/image mode tests
which we will be rolling out in the near future.

ansible-lint requires that the collection path is set so that the requirements
it installs are installed in the correct place.

There has been some general github action deprecation of python versions and
ubuntu versions that we have had to fix.

Remove `CONTRIBUTOR` from the list of users who can trigger citest.

This is an ansible role that installs and configures the [Advanced Intrusion Detection Environment (AIDE)](https://aide.github.io). For Day 2 tasks it can run integrity checks and update the AIDE database.
## What does this role do for you?
* It ensures that the `aide` package is installed on the remote nodes
* As an optional task it can generate the `/etc/aide.conf` file and template it out to the remote nodes
* It initializes the AIDE database
* The AIDE databases from the remote nodes are stored in a central directory on the controller node
* It runs AIDE integrity checks on the remote nodes
* It updates the AIDE databases and stores them on the controller node
## What does this role not do for you?
* It does not explain how to create a good AIDE configuration that suits your requirements; that task remains for you to accomplish
## Requirements
This role has no special requirements as it uses `ansible.builtin` modules
only.
## Role Variables
### aide_config_template
This variable takes a string to specify a path where the custom template for aide.conf is located.

``` jinja

{{ "system_role:aide" | comment(prefix="", postfix="") }}
```
Default: `null`
Type: `string`
### aide_db_fetch_dir
This variable takes a string to specify the directory on the Ansible Control
Node (ACN) where the role will store the AIDE database fetched from the remote

same directory as the playbook.
In case you like to store the fetched AIDE database files somewhere else you
need to specify a different path here.
Default: `files`
Type: `string
### aide_init

Type: `bool`
### aide_fetch_db

Default: `false`
Type: `bool`
### aide_update

## Example Playbook
Including an example of how to use your role (for instance, with variables
passed in as parameters) is always nice for users too:
