Ansible 2.20 has deprecated the use of Ansible facts as variables. For
example, ansible_distribution is now deprecated in favor of
ansible_facts["distribution"]. This is due to making the default
setting INJECT_FACTS_AS_VARS=false. For now, this will create WARNING
messages, but in Ansible 2.24 it will be an error.

In order to ensure that commits and PRs conform to this, use
ANSIBLE_INJECT_FACT_VARS=false by default in our CI testing.

Update README-ostree.md if needed.
