Drop sanity-py3.14 / sanity-py3.13 jobs from the CI tox-ansible matrix

[webknjaz]

This is necessary since tox-ansible is unpinned and the reusable workflow and actions infra does not support surgical pinning. This plugin adds Python 3.14 unconditionally which fails to install ansible-pylibssh as it requires building from source but the underlying libssh headers are not present in runtime and the infra is not flexible enough to have us inject it into the env.

Description

• What is being changed? The CI job matrix
• Why is this change needed? It injects a currently-incompatible Python 3.14 into the CI making it required earlier than acceptable.
• How does this change address the issue? No job == no failure.

Type of Change

• CI maintenance

@KB-perByte I'll leave adding a commit to fix this to you — plz take over this PR:

FATAL: The 1 sanity test(s) listed below (out of 24) failed. See error output above for details.

Maybe an file comment comment explaining why these are skipped could prove useful as sooner or later someone will wonder why these were ignored even if they are part of the official support matrix.

[webknjaz]

Yeah, I'll leave this to @KB-perByte. Just wanted to see if this'd work. The docs aren't very clear on what skip is allowed to contain — you might want to sprinkle more examples in. I've only read the source code promptly and made an educated guess.

[webknjaz]

This is no longer needed.
