Move LANGUAGE_ARRAY definition and initialization to a dedicated file
(globals/languages.sh) so we can source it in different places without
having to source the whole linter.sh
- Move USE_FIND_ALGORITHM and VALIDATE_ALL_CODEBASE validation in a
dedicated function (ValidateFindMode).
- Move ANSIBLE_DIRECTORY validation to a dedicated function
(ValidateAnsibleDirectory).
- Move VALIDATE_xxxx variables validation to a dedicated function
(ValidateValidationVariables).
- Mark ANY_SET, ANY_TRUE, ANY_FALSE as local because we don't need to
reference them anywhere outside ValidateValidationVariables.
- Add some debug statements in validation functions.
- Merge the loops to initialize VALIDATE_xxx variables and to print
enable/disable language debug messages.
- Add tests for these validation functions.
- Add test start message for all tests.
Don't skip processing the current item (FILE) before we give
BuildFileArrays the chance to process it as an item to eventually add to
the list of directories to lint with ansible-lint.

Other related changes
- Add a new make target to open a shell in a Super-linter container.
- Use a fixed path for FILE_ARRAYS_DIRECTORY_PATH so we can verify its
contents in tests
- Remove redundant ValidateBooleanVariable in buildFileList because we
already check those variables in valudation.
- Move Ansible directory detection to a function so we can reuse it.
- Add missing exports for global configuration variables.
- Remove unused LOG_XXXX variables from tests. These should have been
deleted when we moved log variables to log.sh
- Super-linter uses the LOG_LEVEL variable to let the user
configure the desired log level. Checkov and Renovate use a variable
with the same name for the same purpose, but accept a
different set of values, and exit with an error if it gets an unknown
value for that variable.
- Refactor the VERBOSE log level to the more commonly used INFO.
Configuration validation will warn users if they use VERBOSE and
instruct them to use INFO instead. This is not a breaking change
because super-linter falls back on INFO if VERBOSE is set.
- Remove the TRACE log level because we rarely used it. As with VERBOSE,
configuration validation will warn the user. Fall back to DEBUG if the
user configured LOG_LEVEL to VERBOSE.
