Description

### Description

Ansible AWX only supports inventory files that end in `.ini`. Linode's `community.general.linode` inventory plugin only supports YAML configuration files. I cannot use the linode inventory in my AWX instance.

Research direction

Start by locating the community.general.linode inventory plugin and its YAML configuration handling. Check how Ansible AWX determines supported inventory file extensions and whether related tests exist. Done means the Linode inventory can be used from an AWX instance with an .ini filename while preserving existing YAML configuration support.
