* Triple backticks with syntax highlighting: yaml and sh
The strings "yml" were replaced with "yaml" as the latter is used more than the former.

Tests were carried out like this:
- `virtualenv3 env`
- `./env/bin/pip install ansible==4.10.0 ansible-core==2.11.7`
- `./env/bin/ansible-playbook .....`
The lowest version of `ansible-core` available on PyPI right now is
2.11.0. That version has trouble with `ansible==4.0.0` though.
The errors we were hitting seemed to be resolved by others online by
using `ansible==4.10.0` instead, which has a minimum `ansible-core`
requirement of `2.11.7`, so that's what we went with.
Older versions of Ansible may work, but.. I'm having trouble
installing them and don't want to spend too much time on digging through
ancient versions and testing them out. People should just learn to run
up-to-date software.
Interestingly, no one has reported this failure before #662 (Github
Issue).
It doesn't make sense to keep saying that we support such old Ansible
versions, when we're not even testing on anything close to those.
Time is also passing and such versions are getting more and more
ancient. It's time we bumped our requirements to something that is more
likely to work.
Fixes#129 (Github Issue).
Unfortunately, we rely on `service_facts`, which is only available
in Ansible >= 2.5.
There's little reason to stick to an old version such as Ansible 2.4:
- some time has passed since we've raised version requirements - it's
time to move into the future (a little bit)
- we've recently (in 82b4640072) improved the way one can run
Ansible in a Docker container
From now on, Ansible >= 2.5 is required.
Inspired by #128 (Github Issue), we've created a new Docker image
to replace https://hub.docker.com/r/qmxme/ansible
Adding dnspython or dig to `qmxme/ansible` doesn't seem like a good
idea (that might be accepted by them), given that it's specific to our
use case. That's why we'll be maintaining our own image from now on.
After having multiple people report issues with retrieving
SSL certificates, we've finally discovered the culprit to be
Ansible 2.5.1 (default and latest version on Ubuntu 18.04 LTS).
As silly as it is, certain distributions ("LTS" even) are 13 bugfix
versions of Ansible behind.
From now on, we try to auto-detect buggy Ansible versions and tell the
user. We also provide some tips for how to upgrade Ansible or
run it from inside a Docker container.
My testing shows that Ansible 2.4.0 and 2.4.6 are OK.
All other intermediate 2.4.x versions haven't been tested, but we
trust they're OK too.
From the 2.5.x releases, only 2.5.0 and 2.5.1 seem to be affected.
Ansible 2.5.2 corrects the problem with `include_tasks` + `with_items`.
