…nsible#4501)

Replace direct `util.sysexit()` calls with a new `ImmediateExit`
exception to provide clean, testable, and centralized immediate program
termination.

Previously, error conditions throughout Molecule called
`util.sysexit(code)` directly, which:
- Made testing difficult (hard to mock sys.exit calls consistently)
- Scattered termination logic across multiple modules
- Bypassed normal exception handling patterns
- Provided inconsistent logging behavior
- Could result in ugly unhandled tracebacks in some edge cases

**Example of the original problem:**
When running `molecule test` with missing platforms, users would see an
ugly traceback instead of a clean error:

```
INFO     default ➜ discovery: scenario test matrix: create, destroy
CRITICAL Instances missing from the 'platform' section of molecule.yml.

```

**Old pattern:**
```python
except ScenarioFailureError as exc:
    util.sysexit(code=exc.code)  # Direct exit, hard to test
```

**New ImmediateExit Exception:**
```python
class ImmediateExit(Exception):  # noqa: N818
    def __init__(self, message: str, code: int) -> None:
        super().__init__(message)
        self.message = message
        self.code = code
```

**New Pattern:**
```python
except ScenarioFailureError as exc:
    raise ImmediateExit("Scenario execution failed", code=exc.code) from exc
```

**Centralized Handling:**
The `click_command_ex` decorator catches all `ImmediateExit` exceptions
and provides:
- Debug-aware logging (full traceback in debug mode, clean messages
otherwise)
- Consistent termination via `util.sysexit(code)`
- Single point of control for all immediate exits

**Result:**
Now users see clean error messages instead of tracebacks:
```
INFO     default ➜ discovery: scenario test matrix: create, destroy
ERROR    Instances missing from the 'platform' section of molecule.yml.
```

- **Better testability:** Exceptions can be caught and validated in
tests
- **Centralized termination:** All immediate exits go through one
handler
- **Consistent logging:** Debug mode shows full tracebacks, normal mode
shows clean messages
- **Exception semantics:** Proper exception hierarchy allows standard
error handling
- **Clear intent:** Explicit message and exit code requirements
- **Clean user experience:** No more ugly tracebacks for expected error
conditions

**Exception Flow:**
1. Error conditions raise `ImmediateExit(message, code)`
2. `click_command_ex` decorator catches the exception
3. Conditional logging based on exit code and debug mode:
   - Success (code=0): `logger.info(message)`
   - Failure + debug: `logger.exception(message)` (full traceback)
   - Failure + normal: `logger.error(message)` (clean message)
4. `util.sysexit(code)` for program termination

**Files Changed:**

*Core Exception System:*
- `src/molecule/exceptions.py` - New ImmediateExit exception class
- `src/molecule/click_cfg.py` - Centralized exception handler in
decorator

*Conversion from util.sysexit to ImmediateExit:*
- `src/molecule/command/base.py` - ScenarioFailureError handling
- `src/molecule/dependency/base.py` - Dependency installation failures
- `src/molecule/provisioner/ansible.py` - Missing platform validation
- `src/molecule/verifier/testinfra.py` - Test verification failures

*Updated Tests:*
- `tests/unit/test_exceptions.py` - New comprehensive exception tests
- `tests/unit/test_click_command_ex.py` - New decorator behavior tests
- `tests/unit/command/test_base.py` - Updated to expect ImmediateExit
- `tests/unit/provisioner/test_ansible.py` - Updated inventory
validation tests

- **✅ All tests pass:** 678 passed, 6 skipped, 0 failed
- **✅ Pre-commit clean:** All quality checks passing
- **✅ Coverage maintained:** 91% overall coverage
- **✅ No regressions:** All existing functionality preserved

This is an internal refactoring of error handling mechanisms. The public
API, CLI behavior, and exit codes remain unchanged. Users will see
cleaner error messages instead of tracebacks for expected error
conditions.

Provides a cleaner, more testable approach to immediate program
termination while maintaining the same user-visible behavior. The
exception-based approach allows for proper testing of error conditions
and centralizes termination logic for better maintainability.
