SUMMARY

ansible_sudo_pass and ansible_sudo_password are not working anymore in Ansible 2.8.

Tested with 2.8.1 and 2.8.4.

Setting ansible_become_password works.

Checking all the porting guides at https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/porting_guides/porting_guides.html, couldn't find any that would mention these variables being removed.

Does not seem to be related to #11500.
