Allow env-setup to use spaces in full path

Same fix as was applied in f162990c to the action plugin

Fixes #12355

Tested.  Thanks for spotting and then fixing this -- Allow hexadecimal ranges in IPv6 addresses, not only 0-9

Remove deprecation warning; now handled in _split_patterns

The earlier distinction was never used; .ipv6_address was always a copy
of .ipv4_address, and the latter was always used to set the remote_addr
field in the PlayContext.

Also uses the canonical ansible_host/ansible_port names when setting the
address and port from variables.

More tests, better handling of list arguments to _split_pattern

Merge branch 'sudo_on_if_needed' of https://github.com/apollo13/ansible into apollo13-sudo_on_if_needed

Python 3: basestring in play_context.py

Fixes #12418

There were no inventory-specific unit tests earlier, so we add a new
directory for them with some initial low-level tests of _split_pattern
with various valid and deprecated pattern strings.

The earlier-recommended "pat1:pat2:pat3[x:y]" notation doesn't work well
with IPv6 addresses, so we recommend ',' as a separator instead. We know
that commas can't occur within a pattern, so we can just split on it.

We still have to accept the "foo:bar" notation because it's so commonly
used, but we issue a deprecation warning for it.
