Support ansible-core 2.19 and data tagging

[gotmax23]

It looks like Ara will need some changes to work with data tagging and error handling and other API changes in Core.

Sorry, should this be closed as a duplicate #588?

Hi @gotmax23 and thanks for the issue.

I've indeed attempted to centralize the data tagging stuff in that issue. Did you find something that didn't work, though ?

I need to try again with the latest (pre-)release but last I know everything just worked according to ara's own testing.

There are opportunities to do new things but nothing broken that I came across.

Errors don't seem to work properly with ansible-core 2.19.0b1:

$ ara --version

I haven't had the chance to really dig into this yet but did come across these release notes from 2.19 beta2: https://forum.ansible.com/t/data-tagging-preview-and-testing/40759/21?u=rfc2549

Ansible Core 2.19.0b2 has been tagged and released to PyPI. It contains a number of compatibility bugfixes, especially for callbacks that attempt to perform custom serialization of object graphs passed into the callback methods.

@gotmax23 I've reproduced the issue with 2.19.0b1 by running ara's own integration tests:

However the issue is gone with 2.19.0b2:

I already commented on resolving the deprecation notices in the other issue but it seems OK now.

I haven't bisected it down to the specific commit but ansible/ansible@03181ac might be it.
