[CI] Refactoring CI tests for both remote and container tests

SUMMARY
Refactored CI tests:

Remove tests for Ansible Core 2.10 and 2.11 that already reached EOL.
Remote test target of ansible.posix will be the latest version of RHEL8,9 only.
The target OS of container tests has been modified, and a few OS have been removed
Add Ansible Core 2.16 and new devel branch to container and remote test target.
#506

For CI testing, other platforms can be added as needed.
