Fedora 35 is:
- `ansible_os_family = 'RedHat'`
- `ansible_distribution_major_version = '35'`
Our RedHat checks against v7/v8 are really for RHEL derivatives (CentOS, Rockylinux,
AlmaLinux), but the same checks (by coincidence) apply for Fedora 35.
The problem is that `'35' > '7'` (comparing these as strings) is
`false`.
This patch makes sure that we always cast
`ansible_distribution_major_version` to an integer.
Fixes https://github.com/spantaleev/matrix-docker-ansible-deploy/issues/1610
This also removes the `matrix_synapse_version_arm64` variable we've
been dragging around for a long time.
Since https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/pull/11810, a multiarch Synapse
container image (for AMD64 and ARM64) is released at the same time.
Not hardcoding 'CentOS' and using the OS family ('RedHat') instead,
we now behave better on Rockylinux and AlmaLinux, etc.
With that said, we may or may not fully support CentOS/Rockylinux/AlmaLinux v8 yet.
Certain things were improved in
https://github.com/spantaleev/matrix-docker-ansible-deploy/issues/300.
v8 support is discussed here: https://github.com/spantaleev/matrix-docker-ansible-deploy/issues/300
Certain things (firewalld?) may still be problematic. This patch does not try to address those.
If the remaining issues are confirmed to be fixed in the future, we can mark v8 as supported.

I haven't really traced it (yet), but on some servers, I'm observing
`ansible-playbook ... --tags=start` completing very slowly, waiting
to stop services. I can't reproduce this on all Matrix servers I manage.
I suspect that either the systemd version is to blame or that some
specific service is not responding well to some `docker kill/rm` command.
`ExecStop` seems to work great in all cases and it's what we've been
using for a very long time, so I'm reverting to that.
1.0.2 is the first container image tag that is available as a multi-arch image
with support for linux/amd64, linux/arm64/v8 (arm64) and linux/arm/v7 (arm32),
so self-building is no longer necessary on all these platforms.
4.95-r0-1 was problematic, because `/etc/exim/exim.conf` in the
container had the wrong permissions (writable by the `exim` user).
Fixed in 697f3cff7e
which is built as 4.95-r0-2
