datadog_callback.py callback plugin implements deprecated method(s)

[yamjoepobuda]

The following message has started appearing in Ansible 12.x

Ansible [DEPRECATION WARNING] events have been detected. Message: [DEPRECATION WARNING]: The '/etc/ansible/playbooks/callback_plugins/datadog_callback.py' callback plugin implements the following deprecated method(s): playbook_on_stats, runner_on_failed, runner_on_ok, runner_on_unreachable. This feature will be removed from the callback plugin API in ansible-core version 2.23. Implement the `v2_*` equivalent callback method(s) instead. Playbook: ansible/playbook/windows/validation

Additionally, some plays are failing to start due to the callback plugin. Removing the Datadog callback plugin from the playbooks folder resolves the error.

 [WARNING]: Deprecation warnings can be disabled by setting `deprecation_warnings=False` in ansible.cfg.
 [DEPRECATION WARNING]: Passing `disable_lookups` to `template` is deprecated. This feature will be removed from ansible-core version 2.23.
