Change I4789fe99651597b073e35066ec3be312e18659b8 made me realise that with the extant code, nothing will update the /usr/ansible-env environment when we bump the versions. The installation of the Ansible, openstacksdk and ARA packages as part of the "install-ansible" role was done this way to facilitate being able to install all three of these from their main/master/devel branches for the "-devel" job, which is our basic canary for upstream things that might affect us. Because of the way the pip: role works with "state: latest" and mixing on-disk paths with pypi package names, this became a bit of a complex swizzling operation. Some thing have changed since then; particularly us now using a separate venv and upstream Ansible's change to use "collections"; so pulling in a bug-fix for Ansible is not as simple as just cloning github.com/ansible/ansible at a particular tag any more. This means we should reconsider how we're specifying the packages here. This simplifies things to list the required packages in a requirements.txt file, which we install into the venv root. The nice thing about this is that creating requirements.txt with the template: role is idempotent, so we can essentially monitor the file for changes and only (re-)run the pip install into /usr/ansible-env when we change versions (forcing upgrades so we get the versions we want, and fixing the original issue mentioned above).
