feat: Argument spec implementation for kernel settings role

[DonatSzabo]

Enhancement: Added argument spec and assert role spec validation to the kernel settings role. Also wrote tests for it found in tests/tests_invalid_input.

Reason: Because it is a good addition to the linux-system-roles project.

Result: Successfully added it and prepared tests for it. I used AI during this implementation.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The role now declares its parameters, validates parameter shapes and values before execution, and tests invalid inputs for argument-spec and runtime assertion failures.

Changes

Kernel settings validation

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Define role parameter contracts meta/argument_specs.yml	The role declares eight parameters with defaults, accepted types, supported values, and state mappings.
Validate parameters before role tasks tasks/assert_role_vars.yml, tasks/main.yml	The role validates collection shapes, mapping keys, enum values, and boolean values before running subsequent tasks.
Test rejected parameter inputs tests/tests_invalid_input.yml	The tests cover valid defaults, argument-spec failures, runtime validation failures, and cleanup of temporary facts.

In `@tasks/assert_role_vars.yml`:
- Around line 7-11: Update tasks/assert_role_vars.yml lines 7-11 so
kernel_settings_sysctl accepts a top-level mapping only when it is exactly the
state: empty sentinel; at lines 20-21 require name, require value unless state
is absent, and restrict state and previous to supported markers. Apply the
equivalent top-level rule at lines 48-52 and item validation at lines 61-62 for
kernel_settings_sysfs. Extend tests/tests_invalid_input.yml lines 84-102 with
failures for a single-setting mapping, extra keys on the empty sentinel, missing
name, and invalid previous values.
