Report detailed error when internal remote functions fail

This is a redesign in how plugins call _remote_checksum().

- _remote_stat() has been modified to report the real error as
  AnsiblError
- Action plugin **unarchive** calls _remote_stat() directly instead of
   _remote_checksum()
- Action plugin **unarchive** also handles the exceptions directly
- Ensure get_exception() returns native text

Two other action plugins, **template** and **fetch**, also do a remote checksum.
In **template** we already call _remote_stat(), just like we now do for
unarchive, in **fetch** we do call _remote_checksum() and we make the
exact same mistake as the unarchive plugin. So that one could use a
redesign as well.

This fixes #19494

Before:
```
[dag@moria ansible.testing]$ ansible-playbook -v test137.yml
Using /home/dag/home-made/ansible.testing/ansible.cfg as config file

PLAY [localhost]
******************************************************************************************************

TASK [unarchive]
******************************************************************************************************
fatal: [localhost]: FAILED! => {"changed": false, "failed": true, "msg":
"python isn't present on the system.  Unable to compute checksum"}

PLAY RECAP
******************************************************************************************************
localhost                  : ok=0    changed=0    unreachable=0
failed=1
```

After:
```
[dag@moria ansible.testing]$ ansible-playbook -v test137.yml
Using /home/dag/home-made/ansible.testing/ansible.cfg as config file

PLAY [localhost]
