test: ensure role gathers the facts it uses by having test clear_facts before include_role

[richm]

The role gathers the facts it uses. For example, if the user uses
ANSIBLE_GATHERING=explicit, the role uses the setup module with the
facts and subsets it requires.

This change allows us to test this. Before every role invocation, the test
will use meta: clear_facts so that the role starts with no facts.

Create a task file tests/tasks/run_role_with_clear_facts.yml to do the tasks
to clear the facts and run the role. Note that this means we don't need to
use gather_facts for the tests.

Some vars defined using ansible_facts have been changed to be defined with
set_fact instead. This is because of the fact that vars are lazily
evaluated - the var might be referenced when the facts have been cleared, and
will issue an error like ansible_facts["distribution"] is undefined. This is
typically done for blocks that have a when condition that uses ansible_facts
and the block has a role invocation using run_role_with_clear_facts.yml
These have been rewritten to define the when condition using set_fact. This
is because the when condition is evaluated every time a task is invoked in the
block, and if the facts are cleared, this will raise an undefined variable error.

Summary by Sourcery

Run nbde_server role tests through a shared task wrapper that clears Ansible facts before each role invocation to verify the role gathers required facts itself.

Tests:

• Introduce a reusable tests/tasks/run_role_with_clear_facts.yml helper to clear facts and then run the nbde_server role, with optional control over tasks_from, public vars, and failure handling.
• Update nbde_server test playbooks to use the new helper instead of include_role directly, passing __sr_public where needed and no longer relying on play-level gather_facts settings.

Reviewer's Guide

This PR refactors nbde_server role tests to run the role via a shared task helper that clears Ansible facts before each role invocation and adds optional failure-handling semantics, ensuring the role correctly gathers the facts it relies on even under explicit fact gathering settings.

File-Level Changes

Change	Details	Files
Introduce a reusable helper task file that clears facts then runs the nbde_server role, with optional failure suppression semantics.	Create tests/tasks/run_role_with_clear_facts.yml to first run meta: clear_facts then include the linux-system-roles.nbde_server role Parameterize tasks_from, public, and failed_when behavior via __sr_tasks_from, __sr_public, and __sr_failed_when variables Implement a block/rescue pattern to ignore role errors when __sr_failed_when is explicitly set to false while still executing the role normally otherwise	tests/tasks/run_role_with_clear_facts.yml
Update tests to use the new helper instead of directly including the nbde_server role and adjust fact-gathering behavior.	Replace include_role: linux-system-roles.nbde_server with include_tasks: tasks/run_role_with_clear_facts.yml in nbde_server-related tests Pass __sr_public: true where tests previously used public: true on include_role calls Drop explicit gather_facts settings from playbooks that now rely on the role to gather any required facts itself	tests/tests_nbde_server_keys_dir.yml tests/tests_nbde_server_rotate_keys.yml tests/tests_nbde_server_service_state.yml tests/tests_deploy_keys.yml tests/tests_share_system_dir.yml tests/tests_fetch_keys_deploy_not_set.yml tests/tests_fetch_keys_deploy_set.yml tests/tests_tangd_custom_port.yml tests/tests_default.yml tests/tests_default_vars.yml tests/tests_include_vars_from_parent.yml
