2a1ec38e3a Stop using Ansible's cron module
This is mainly to address SSL renewal not working for us due to:
- https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/71213
- https://github.com/ansible/ansible/pull/71207

Using the cron module was hacky anyway. We shouldn't need an extra
level of buggy abstraction to manage a cronjob file.

7d3adc4512 Automatically force-pull :latest images
We do use some `:latest` images by default for the following services:
- matrix-dimension
- Goofys (in the matrix-synapse role)
- matrix-bridge-appservice-irc
- matrix-bridge-appservice-discord
- matrix-bridge-mautrix-facebook
- matrix-bridge-mautrix-whatsapp

It's terribly unfortunate that those software projects don't release
anything other than `:latest`, but that's how it is for now.

Updating that software requires that users manually do `docker pull`
on the server. The playbook didn't force-repull images that it already
had.

With this patch, it starts doing so. Any image tagged `:latest` will be
force re-pulled by the playbook every time it's executed.

It should be noted that even though we ask the `docker_image` module to
force-pull, it only reports "changed" when it actually pulls something
new. This is nice, because it lets people know exactly when something
gets updated, as opposed to giving the indication that it's always
updating the images (even though it isn't).

7c246b4a99 Make error about unset matrix_ssl_lets_encrypt_support_email more descriptive
Previously, we'd show an error like this:

{"changed": false, "item": null, "msg": "Detected an undefined required variable"}

.. which didn't mention the variable name
(`matrix_ssl_lets_encrypt_support_email`).

ec0f936227 Try SSL renewal more frequently and reload later
It doesn't hurt to attempt renewal more frequently, as it only does
real work if it's actually necessary.

Reloading, we postpone some more, because certbot adds some random delay
(between 1 and 8 * 60 seconds) when renewing. We want to ensure
we reload at least 8 minutes later, which wasn't the case.

To make it even safer (in case future certbot versions use a longer
delay), we reload a whole hour later. We're in no rush to start using
the new certificates anyway, especially given that we attempt renewal
often.

Somewhat fixes #146 (Github Issue)

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).

d90bc20690 Use common path for systemctl in lets encrypt cron
Currently the nginx reload cron fails on Debian 9 because the path to
systemctl is /bin/systemctl rather than /usr/bin/systemctl.

CentOS 7 places systemctl in both /bin and /usr/bin, so we can just use
/bin/systemctl as the full path.

c10182e5a6 Make roles more independent of one another
With this change, the following roles are now only dependent
on the minimal `matrix-base` role:
- `matrix-corporal`
- `matrix-coturn`
- `matrix-mailer`
- `matrix-mxisd`
- `matrix-postgres`
- `matrix-riot-web`
- `matrix-synapse`

The `matrix-nginx-proxy` role still does too much and remains
dependent on the others.

Wiring up the various (now-independent) roles happens
via a glue variables file (`group_vars/matrix-servers`).
It's triggered for all hosts in the `matrix-servers` group.

According to Ansible's rules of priority, we have the following
chain of inclusion/overriding now:
- role defaults (mostly empty or good for independent usage)
- playbook glue variables (`group_vars/matrix-servers`)
- inventory host variables (`inventory/host_vars/matrix.<your-domain>`)

All roles default to enabling their main component
(e.g. `matrix_mxisd_enabled: true`, `matrix_riot_web_enabled: true`).
Reasoning: if a role is included in a playbook (especially separately,
in another playbook), it should "work" by default.

Our playbook disables some of those if they are not generally useful
(e.g. `matrix_corporal_enabled: false`).

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.
