[PATCH 0/2] python interpreter in ansible.cfg

[Daniel Gomez <da.gomez@kernel.org>]

This adds support for the Ansible Python Interpreter [1] in Kconfig
and cli. Instead of setting the interpreter individually for every
task/target, just set it globally with the Ansible variable dedicated
for it (interpreter_python).

Set the default interpreter to auto_silent to silent the warning. From
documentation [2]:
"The fallback behavior will issue a warning that the interpreter
should be set explicitly (since interpreters installed later may change
which one is used). This warning behavior can be disabled by setting
auto_silent or auto_legacy_silent"

'auto_silent' will prevent this warning:
  TASK [Gathering Facts]
  
  [started TASK: Gathering Facts on localhost]
  Warning: : Platform linux on host localhost is using the discovered
  Python
  ok: [localhost]
  
  interpreter at /usr/bin/python3.13, but future installation of another
  Python interpreter could change the meaning of that path. See
  
  https://docs.ansible.com/ansible-
  core/2.18/reference_appendices/interpreter_discovery.html for more
  information.
  https://docs.ansible.com/ansible-core/2.18/reference_appendices/
  interpreter_discovery.html

In addition, this allows setting a custom interpreter if a specific
distribution requires it, such as NixOS:
