This avoids spurious failure with 'localhost'.

It should also be more correct the inventory contains uncached hosts
which are not in `k8s_cluster` and therefore should not be Kubespray
business.

(We still use hostvars for uncached hosts, because it's easier to select
on 'ansible_default_ipv4' that way and does not change the end result)

This enables [configuration](https://kubernetes.io/docs/concepts/policy/resource-quotas/#limit-priority-class-consumption-by-default) of the [ResourceQuota AdmissionController plugin](https://kubernetes.io/docs/reference/access-authn-authz/admission-controllers/#resourcequota). The configuration file will be empty by default when no limitedResources are set.

- Move validation from facts to verify-settings
- Move set_fact to vars/

We use a lot of facts where variables are enough, and format too early,
which prevent reusing the variables in different contexts.

- Moves set_fact variables to the vars directory, remove unnecessary
 intermediate variables, and render them at usage sites to only do logic
 on native Ansible/Jinja lists.
- Use defaults/ rather than default filters for several variables.

There is no test with IDEMPOT_CHECK=true since commit 7b78e687 (disable
idempotency tests (#1872), 2017-10-26)

Remove the related infra from our CI scripts.

We were running the playbooks before building the collections, so this
probably wasn't testing much.

We don't test Flatcar at all in CI, thus remove special handling for it.

This display in a readable (by humans) way the result of most tasks, and
should be way more readable that what we have now, which is frequently a
bunch of unreadable json.

+ some small fixes (using delegated_to instead of when
  <control_plane_host>)

- special casing should be in Kubespray, not in the test. It makes no
  sense to do something in tests which won't be done in actual usage.
- We don't actually test CoreOS at all in the CI.

There is no pods with hostNetwork deployed in this test, and therefore
the tasks are skipped / empty output (checked in CI).

This is a followup to 2ba28a33 (Revert "Wait for available API token in
a new namespace (#7045)", 2024-10-25).

While checking for the serviceaccount token is not effective, there is
still a race when creating a Pod directly, because the ServiceAccount
itself might not be created yet.
More details at https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/issues/66689.

This cause very frequent flakes in our CI with spurious failures.

Use a Deployment instead ; it will takes cares of creating the Pods and
retrying ; it also let us use kubectl rollout status instead of manually
checking for the pods.

Remove testfiles which are not used in the CI.

Remove ara in CI + some cleanup

We do not use it and it has some overhead.
