Description

I'm pretty new to Ansible and galaxy collections but while playing with #4849 branch I see an error:

```
$ omnia.sh --install-venv
...
[build_stream] Installing Galaxy collections ...
usage: ansible-galaxy [-h] [--version] [-v] TYPE ...
ansible-galaxy: error: unrecognized arguments: --quiet

usage: ansible-galaxy [-h] [--version] [-v] TYPE ...

Perform various Role and Collection related operations.

positional arguments:
TYPE
collection Manage an Ansible Galaxy collection.
role Manage an Ansible Galaxy role.

options:
--version show program's version number, config file location, configured module search path, module location, executable location and exit
-h, --help show this help message and exit
-v, --verbose Causes Ansible to print more debug messages. Adding multiple -v will increase the verbosity, the builtin plugins currently evaluate up to
-vvvvvv. A reasonable level to start is -vvv, connection debugging might require -vvvv. This argument may be specified multiple times.
[build_stream] WARNING: Galaxy install failed — continuing
...
```

It seems that Ansible doesn't support `--quiet` for ansible-galaxy collection install — the flag was removed in newer ansible-core versions?

Research direction

The report points to omnia.sh and the [build_stream] Galaxy collection installation step; locate the ansible-galaxy collection install invocation there and check which options the supported ansible-core version accepts. Done means the installation command no longer passes the unsupported --quiet flag and the --install-venv setup completes without the shown argument error.
