Apply a role to a host list, similar to 'ansible localhost -m ping'
And also use the ansible-role '-a' key=value args
Let ansible-role -A specify which arg spec def to use.
And fixup ansible-role to work with the current params for
validate_arg_spec.
The meta/arg_specs.yml will have a dict. Each key in the dict
is the name of an arg spec, and the value is the arg spec
definition.
By default, the 'default' arg spec will be used unless otherwise
specified.
Only ways to specify the arg spec name at the moment are:
- the ansible-role -A/--arg-spec-name cli options
- change DEFAULT_ARG_SPEC_NAME in config
For example using the test1 role in test/integration/targets/validate_arg_spec
$ cd test/integration/targets/validate_arg_spec
# will use the 'default' role arg specs from meta/arg_specs.yml
$ ansible-role localhost -r test1
# will use the 'simple_preset' role arg spec from meta/arg_specs.yml
$ ansible-role localhost -r test1 -A simple_preset
Stop creating a validation task in ansible-role
Role loading does it generally now, so ansible-role doesnt
need to special case it.
Add ansible-role to a doc index to fix ansible-test

Awesome! Beats having to create a trivial playbook for each role, or a generic playbook like ---
- hosts: "{{ ansible_limit }}"
roles:
- "{{ role_name }}" |

@jborean93 @alikins is this CLI command still relevant now that we have ansible-galaxy w/ role and collection support? Can we close the PR if its no longer needed? |

SUMMARY
Add a 'ansible-role' cli
This is split off from the #44983 role arg spec pr.
Apply a role to a host list, similar to 'ansible localhost -m ping'
For example using test1 role in test/integration/targets/validate_arg_spec
$ cd test/integration/targets/validate_arg_spec
will use the 'default' role arg specs from meta/arg_specs.yml
$ ansible-role localhost -r test1
