Add matrix-user-creator role - automatic user account creation support

Browse Source 
We no longer ask users to create Matrix user accounts for these bots:

- Postmoogle
- Honoroit
- Reminder Bot

Other bots and services (matrix-registration-bot, maubot, mjolnir,
Dimension, etc.) require an Access Token to run (not a password),
so this new role doesn't help for them.

It does help for the above bots though, and for defining your own
"initial user accounts" in the `matrix_user_creator_users_additional`
variable.

See the project's [documentation](https://gitlab.com/etke.cc/honoroit#how-it-looks-like) to learn what it does with screenshots and why it might be useful to you.
## Registering the bot user
By default, the playbook will set up the bot with a username like this: `@honoroit:DOMAIN`.
(to use a different username, adjust the `matrix_bot_honoroit_login` variable).
You **need to register the bot user manually** before setting up the bot. You can use the playbook to [register a new user](registering-users.md):
```
ansible-playbook -i inventory/hosts setup.yml --extra-vars='username=honoroit password=PASSWORD_FOR_THE_BOT admin=no' --tags=register-user
```
Choose a strong password for the bot. You can generate a good password with a command like this: `pwgen -s 64 1`.
## Adjusting the playbook configuration
Add the following configuration to your `inventory/host_vars/matrix.DOMAIN/vars.yml` file:

After configuring the playbook, run the [installation](installing.md) command again:
```sh
ansible-playbook -i inventory/hosts setup.yml --tags=setup-all,ensure-matrix-users-created,start
```
ansible-playbook -i inventory/hosts setup.yml --tags=setup-all,start
```
**Notes**:
- the `ensure-matrix-users-created` playbook tag makes the playbook automatically create the bot's user account
- if you change the bot password (`matrix_bot_honoroit_password` in your `vars.yml` file) subsequently, the bot user's credentials on the homeserver won't be updated automatically. If you'd like to change the bot user's password, use a tool like [synapse-admin](configuring-playbook-synapse-admin.md) to change it, and then update `matrix_bot_honoroit_password` to let the bot know its new password
