Failure on MacOS since cp does not support --parents #246

Hi team tox-ansible fails on MacOS with an error for cp not supporting --parents.

This line: https://github.com/ansible/tox-ansible/blob/d9c7d08dba0d9d01de0ceb38ce17596bb28fe648/src/tox_ansible/plugin.py#L464

contains --parents which is not supported on MacOS. ~Changing to -p should solve it for all platforms.~ -p is not doing the same, so on MacOS ppl would have to install GNU cp.

Can you look into other alternatives to make this more portable?

Thanks

More portable would be to use a pure python approach and avoid using cp or rsync which both have their own portability issues.
