<title>fix: prevent lost YAML targets during parallel writes</title>

The YAML strategy performed a separate read-modify-write operation for
every managed host. Because these tasks were delegated to the same
Prometheus host, parallel Ansible forks could read the same original
file before any fork wrote its update.

Each fork then generated YAML containing only its own target. Although
the copy module atomically replaced the file, it did not make the full
read-modify-write sequence atomic. The last fork to write therefore
overwrote targets added by earlier forks.

Collect exporter updates from all hosts through hostvars, process them
in one run_once operation, and write each distinct target file once.
This preserves every target without requiring users to set serial.

Add parallel coverage for multiple target files and label groups, and
reset the fixtures on every convergence so stale files cannot hide the
race.

<title>Add support for YAML strategy</title>

Introduces a new 'yaml' strategy using Ansible's `from_yaml` to read
target files. This allows users to group multiple targets with
distinct label sets (e.g., severity or job) within a single file,
optimizing Prometheus file-based service discovery.

- Refactored task structure into `strategy_*.yml` for consistency.
- Extracted shared exporter variable computation.
- Implemented label merging where exporter labels override defaults.
- Included support for groups and hosts without labels to prevent crashes.
