TASK pre_check_version does not handle or report k3s update API url outage well

Summary

this issue has been surfaced through this outage https://github.com/k3s-io/k3s/issues/6052

During an outage of the URL https://update.k3s.io/v1-release/channels,

the task TASK [xanmanning.k3s : Get the latest release version from k3s.io] reports only:

TASK [xanmanning.k3s : Get the latest release version from k3s.io]
*************
fatal: [nodename]: FAILED! => {"censored": "the output has been hidden
due to the fact that 'no_log: true' was specified for this result",
"changed": false}

enabling no_log: false for the pre_check_version surfaces the real error:

Providing the a specific k3s version works around the issue: k3s_release_version: v1.24.4+k3s1

Issue Type

Bug Report

Controller Environment and Configuration

I run this playbook wrapped up inside a terraform build so will have to work out how to get this if its relevant.

Steps to Reproduce

run a playbook that includes the role do no specify a version to install

Expected Result

I would expect some hint of why the update check fails :) e.g. update URL and http code would suffice

Actual Result

the task TASK [xanmanning.k3s : Get the latest release version from k3s.io] reports only:

TASK [xanmanning.k3s : Get the latest release version from k3s.io]
*************
fatal: [nodename]: FAILED! => {"censored": "the output has been hidden

"changed": false}
