39566aa7fe Generate a Synapse signing key file, if missing
The code used to check for a `homeserver.yaml` file and generate
a configuration (+ key) only if such a configuration file didn't exist.

Certain rare cases (setting up with one server name and then
changing to another) lead to `homeserver.yaml` being there,
but a `matrix.DOMAIN.signing.key` file missing (because the domain
changed).
A new signing key file would never get generated, because `homeserver.yaml`'s
existence used to be (incorrectly) satisfactory for us.

From now on, we don't mix things up like that.
We don't care about `homeserver.yaml` anymore, but rather
about the actual signing key.

The rest of the configuration (`homeserver.yaml` and
`matrix.DOMAIN.log.config`) is rebuilt by us in any case, so whether
it exists or not is irrelevant and doesn't need checking.

af1c9ae59d Do not force firewalld on people
In most cases, there's not really a need to touch the system
firewall, as Docker manages iptables by itself
(see https://docs.docker.com/network/iptables/).

All ports exposed by Docker containers are automatically whitelisted
in iptables and wired to the correct container.

This made installing firewalld and whitelisting ports pointless,
as far as this playbook's services are concerned.

People that wish to install firewalld (for other reasons), can do so
manually from now on.

This is inspired by and fixes #97 (Github Issue).

433780384e Do not use docker_container module
Using `docker_container` with a `cap_drop` argument requires
Ansible >=2.7.

We want to support older versions too (2.4), so we either need to
stop invoking it with `cap_drop` (insecure), or just stop using
the module altogether.

Since it was suffering from other bugs too (not deleting containers
on failure), we've decided to remove `docker_container` usage completely.

51312b8250 Split playbook into multiple roles
As suggested in #63 (Github issue), splitting the
playbook's logic into multiple roles will be beneficial for
maintainability.

This patch realizes this split. Still, some components
affect others, so the roles are not really independent of one
another. For example:
- disabling mxisd (`matrix_mxisd_enabled: false`), causes Synapse
and riot-web to reconfigure themselves with other (public)
Identity servers.

- enabling matrix-corporal (`matrix_corporal_enabled: true`) affects
how reverse-proxying (by `matrix-nginx-proxy`) is done, in order to
put matrix-corporal's gateway server in front of Synapse

We may be able to move away from such dependencies in the future,
at the expense of a more complicated manual configuration, but
it's probably not worth sacrificing the convenience we have now.

As part of this work, the way we do "start components" has been
redone now to use a loop, as suggested in #65 (Github issue).
This should make restarting faster and more reliable.
