Bump up Ansible supported versions to 8.x/9.x

This change bumps up the maximum supported Ansible version to 9.x
(ansible-core 2.16.x) and minimum to 8.x. This synchronises Kayobe with
Kolla Ansible.

Notable changes
---------------

- Removed use of get_md5 when using stat module, See:
  d955fb1590

- Remove use of include (instead of import_tasks/include_tasks) which
  has now been removed. See:
  8db9bd7574
