Fixes #462 notice permission denied on authorized_key module

Ignore pylint errors caused by compatibility checks for six

SUMMARY
Ignore pylint errors caused by compatibility checks for six:

pylint:ansible-bad-import-from

Ansible Core 2.16 supports Python2 environment,  and six is required to maintain compatibility with Python 2.
We plan to continue supporting Ansible Core 2.16 at this time.
Additionally, removing the standalone ansible-lint test because it is already included in ansible-test sanity.
