1cd251ed78 Don't delete Docker images which may have been pulled by another
Some people run Coturn or Jitsi, etc., by themselves and disable it
in the playbook.

Because the playbook is trying to be nice and clean up after itself,
it was deleting these Docker images.

However, people wish to pull and use them separately and would rather
they don't get deleted.

We could make this configurable for the sake of this special case, but
it's simpler to just avoid deleting these images.
It's not like this "cleaning things up" thing works anyway.
As time goes on, the playbook gets updated with newer image tags
and we leave so many images behind. If one doesn't run
`docker system prune -a` manually once in a while, they'd get swamped
with images anyway. Whether we leave a few images behind due to the lack
of this cleanup now is pretty much irrelevant.

e1690722f7 Replace cronjobs with systemd timers
Fixes https://github.com/spantaleev/matrix-docker-ansible-deploy/issues/756

Related to https://github.com/spantaleev/matrix-docker-ansible-deploy/issues/737

I feel like timers are somewhat more complicated and dirty (compared to
cronjobs), but they come with these benefits:

- log output goes to journald
- on newer systemd distros, you can see when the timer fired, when it
will fire, etc.
- we don't need to rely on cron (reducing our dependencies to just
systemd + Docker)

Cronjobs work well, but it's one more dependency that needs to be
installed. We were even asking people to install it manually
(in `docs/prerequisites.md`), which could have gone unnoticed.

Once in a while someone says "my SSL certificates didn't renew"
and it's likely because they forgot to install a cron daemon.

Switching to systemd timers means that installation is simpler
and more unified.
