      .Ansible now preserves JSON strings for use in secrets

      Previously, Ansible converted JSON strings to the corresponding
      JSON object if the value was used in a loop and strings similar to `data: "{{ value }}"`
      As a consequence, you cannot pass JSON strings as secrets and have the
      value preserved.
      This update casts the data value to a string when passing to the `podman_secret`
      module. As a result, JSON strings are preserved as-is for use in secrets.

      Cause: Ansible is somehow converting JSON strings to the corresponding
      JSON object if the value is used in a loop and the value is used
      like `data: "{{ value }}"`

      Consequence: You cannot pass JSON strings as secrets and have the
      value preserved.

      Fix: Cast the data value to a string when passing to the podman_secret
      module.

      Result: JSON strings are preserved as-is for use in secrets.
