Exception when role metadata has no dependencies key

[AKorezin]

Summary

If the meta/main.yml of a role does not have a dependencies key, then ansible-lint will throw an exception.

This issue was introduced by #3923.

Issue Type

• Bug Report

OS / ENVIRONMENT

ansible-lint --version
ansible-lint 6.22.2 using ansible-core:2.16.2 ansible-compat:4.1.11 ruamel-yaml:0.18.5 ruamel-yaml-clib:0.2.8

• ansible installation method: pip
• ansible-lint installation method: pip

STEPS TO REPRODUCE

1. Init new role. ansible-galaxy init test
2. Remove dependencies: [] from test/meta/main.yml.
3. Run ansible-lint test for the role.

Desired Behavior

The presence of the dependencies key should be checked.
If dependencies is a required key, then:

1. The Ansible Meta json schema should be updated.
2. There should be a linter error.

Actual Behavior

WARNING  Ignored exception from RoleNames.<bound method RoleNames.matchyaml of role-name: Role name {0} does not match ``^*$`` pattern.> while processing test/meta/main.yml (meta): 'dependencies'
