+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #2181019 +++

Description of problem:
resource-agents package provides azure-events-az agent. This agent executes 'crm_simulate -Ls' and parses output. With pacemaker 2.1 and newer the output of crm_simulate changed and no longer contains text 'Transition Summary:', resulting with an error for azure-events-az.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
RHEL 8.6 (and newer)
resource-agents-4.9.0-16.el8_6.8.x86_64
pacemaker-cli-2.1.2-4.el8_6.5.x86_64

How reproducible:
Error in azure-events-az only shows after an Azure scheduled event is triggered. Example of such event is VM redeploy or reboot. https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/virtual-machines/linux/scheduled-events

Errors during execution of azure-events-az, as a monitor within pacemaker or manually with 'export OCF_ROOT=/usr/lib/ocf; export OCF_RESKEY_verbose=1; /usr/lib/ocf/resource.d/heartbeat/azure-events-az monitor' causes an error:

ocf-exit-reason:object of type 'bool' has no len()
ocf.py(None)[2963061]:  Mar 22 21:04:03 ERROR: object of type 'bool' has no len()

Steps to Reproduce:
See above section

Actual results:
Within /usr/lib/ocf/resource.d/heartbeat/azure-events-az, method transitionSummary() on line 296 calls crm_simulate -Ls (line 311). This method expects to find "Transition Summary:" in the output. Upto and including RHEL 8.4 this was true (pacemaker 2.0.5 in RHEL8.4). In pacemaker 2.1.x this line is no longer part of output.

Result is that within azure-events-az, method allResourcesStoppedOnNode(node) then fails in line 372 with above errors


Expected results:
# crm_simulate -Ls
Transition Summary:
	* Promote rsc_SAPHana_HN1_HDB03:0      (Slave -> Master hsr3-db1)
	* Stop    rsc_SAPHana_HN1_HDB03:1      (hsr3-db0)
	* Move    rsc_ip_HN1_HDB03     (Started hsr3-db0 -> hsr3-db1)
	* Start   rsc_nc_HN1_HDB03     (hsr3-db1)
# Excepted result when there are no pending actions:
Transition Summary:

@kgaillot is there a crm_feature_set version I should check against so we can use new format where needed, and fallback to the old way for older versions?

3.7.4, which is also when --output-as=xml is available for crm_simulate

Fix to treat no "Transition Summary" as no actions:https://github.com/ClusterLabs/resource-agents/pull/1854

--output-as=xml is quite new in crm_simulate, so not as backwards compatible.
