RUN-4085 Generate Inventory with SSH password authentication

[ltamaster]

This pull request introduces comprehensive functional tests for the Ansible plugin's multi-node authentication feature, ensuring that each node can have its own credentials (password or private key) stored in Rundeck's key storage. It adds new test suites, supporting documentation, and Docker configurations to validate scenarios including password escaping, per-node authentication, and compatibility with current Rundeck versions.

Key changes include:

1. Functional Test Coverage for Multi-Node Authentication

• Added MultiNodeAuthSpec.groovy, a Spock test suite that verifies multi-node authentication with different credentials per node (passwords and private keys), password escaping for special characters, and node accessibility. The suite includes helper methods for project setup, key storage, and job execution.

2. Test Documentation and Usage Instructions

• Introduced a detailed functional-test/README.md explaining prerequisites, Docker/Testcontainers setup, how to run tests, test structure, troubleshooting, and specifics of the multi-node authentication feature.
• Added a scenario-specific README in docker/ansible-multi-node-auth/README.md describing the test setup, what is being tested, and expected behaviors.

3. Docker and Test Resource Enhancements

• Updated docker-compose.yml to add three new SSH test nodes (ssh-node-2, ssh-node-3, ssh-node-4) with unique passwords and private key authentication, and mounted the new test scenario directory. [1] [2]
• Added Ansible configuration (ansible.cfg), inventory (inventory.ini), node definitions (resources.xml), and a test playbook (test-playbook.yml) for the multi-node authentication scenario. [1] [2] [3] [4]

4. Gradle and Test Environment Updates

• Updated the functional test Gradle task to use Rundeck version 5.18.0 for compatibility testing and added comments about Docker/Testcontainers configuration.

These changes collectively provide robust, automated validation for the Ansible plugin's advanced authentication features, improving confidence in multi-node and mixed-auth scenarios.Generate Inventory with SSH password authentication
