Summary0000237: Detect Ansible Vault files
DescriptionAnsible Vault (https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/user_guide/vault.html) is a simple AES-based file encryption system for Ansible.

The exact file format is documented at https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/user_guide/vault.html#format-of-files-encrypted-with-ansible-vault, but essentially the magic bytes are (hexdump):

00000000: 2441 4e53 4942 4c45 5f56 4155 4c54 3b $ANSIBLE_VAULT;

It would be great if detection for this format could be added. At the moment it is just reported as "ASCII text".

Attached is an example file which contains the content "this is an example file" with the password "123"
Steps To Reproduce1. Create a file using `ansible-vault create myfile`
2. Enter some content in your editor and save the file
3. Use `file myfile`
