* throttle tests: fix detection of parallel execution
The test wasn't able to detect if too many workers were running.
On my laptop:
- without this change, the 'throttle' target takes ~20 seconds
- with this change, the 'throttle' target takes ~70 seconds
- 1 second isn't long enough to encounter the issue
* Fix throttle test when strategy is 'free' based
'free' strategy allows multiple tasks to be executed in parallel: use
one 'throttledir' per task.
Use 'linear' strategy with a dedicated play for cleanup/setup tasks
* throttle: reset worker idx before queuing a new task
* TestStrategyBase: define task.throttle
otherwise '1' will be used instead of the default value due to the
following expression being equal to '1':
int(templar.template(task_mock.throttle))

This directory is currently a fixed location to make troubleshooting easier.
It is cleared before each test target runs, but is preserved when a test target finishes.
This allows the contents to be inspected when a test fails.
The previous location was `~/ansible_testing/`.
The new location is within the content root:
- `test/results/.tmp/output_dir` for Ansible
- `tests/output/.tmp/output_dir` for Ansible Collections
Moving the directory reduces the number of places on the filesystem where tests create output.
It also enables the results to be returned from delegated systems.
* play, block, task: New attribute forks
With this it is possible to limit the number of concurrent task runs.
forks can now be used in play, block and task. If forks is set in different
levels in the chain, then the smallest value will be used for the task.
The attribute has been added to the Base class as a list to easily provide
all the values that have been set in the different levels of the chain.
A warning has been added because of the conflict with run_once. forks will
be ignored in this case.
The forks limitation in StrategyBase._queue_task is not used for the free
strategy.

* Handle forks in free strategy
The forks attribute for the free strategy is handled in run in the free
StrategyModule. This is dony by counting the amount of tasks where the uuid
is the same as the current task, that should be queued next. If this amount
is bigger or equal to the forks attribute from the chain (task, block,
play), then it will be skipped to the next host. Like it is also done with
blocked_hosts.

* Test cases for forks with linear and free strategy
With ansible_python_interpreter defined in inventory file using
ansible_playbook_python.
