This connection plugin allows Ansible, running in a privileged container, to execute tasks on the container host instead of in the container itself.
This is useful for running Ansible in a pull model, while still keeping the Ansible control node containerized.
It relies on having privileged access to run C(nsenter) in the host's PID namespace, allowing it to enter the namespaces of the provided PID (default PID 1, or init/systemd).
