Description

Currently tests/ansible/integration/become focuses almost exclusive on the sudo plugin. There is much less coverage of e.g. doas, su.

Parameterising the existing sudo tests to take the become plugin as n argument might be an easy win to improve this.

Research direction
Look at the tests/ansible/integration/become directory. The existing sudo tests can be parameterized to also test other become plugins like doas and su. Follow the test patterns in those files to create a parameterized test that accepts the become plugin as an argument.
