Develop a new way of returning Ansible version and collections data

[AlanCoding]

We need an updated alternative for getting the data which was previously produced in the entrypoint here:

ansible-runner/utils/entrypoint.sh

Lines 70 to 73 in c311e81

	if output=$(ansible-galaxy collection list --format json 2> /dev/null); then
	echo $output > ${AWX_ISOLATED_DATA_DIR}/collections.json
	fi
	ansible --version 2> /dev/null | head -n 1 > ${AWX_ISOLATED_DATA_DIR}/ansible_version.txt

that included files

• collections.json
• ansible_version.txt

which were produced by the obvious commands. This data was consumed by AWX, saved to the database, and passed along to analytics.

---

Implementation details are TBD, of course. However, I would suggest that we could reasonably pass this data in the status_callback for the starting status, and it is fully expected that this would have to be intentionally enabled by the caller (just as the AWX_ISOLATED_DATA_DIR env var was abused before), so whatever instructions for adding this data will then subsequently be added by AWX.

To clarify (about the format of delivery) - we don't need a file named collections.json. We just need the data somewhere and instructions so that we can collect it in AWX. This is why I propose the status_handler, as that could be passed in a dictionary that is already being passed from the worker to the processor, and AWX could just read that inside of an existing callback method.
