roles/nginx: Make sure to set HSTS headers on WordPress static files
I realized the other day that due to complex logic in the location
blocks, various WordPress static files like images and stylesheets
didn't get the HTTP Strict Transport Security header set. We need
to include it on each level where we are setting headers, because
nginx overwrites headers if you set them again in a child block.

roles/nginx: Decrease gzip_min_length from 860 to 256
There was some knowledge floating around that 860 bytes was the
optimal size, I think it was from an Akamai engineer or something,
but the HTML 5 Boilerplate server configs use 256 bytes, and I
actually have HTML content that is less than 860 bytes, so I guess
I could benefit from compressing it. gzip compression is costly
for the compression side, but very quick for the client, so this
is a good thing.

roles/nginx: Reduce gzip_comp_level from 6 to 5
After performing some tests[0] again I see that level 5 produces
the most acceptable results for my site currently. Others[1] are
using the same, so I'll gladly accept a little less CPU load for
a tradeoff of a few bits of file size.

Set use_letsencrypt to true for nginx role
The variable name is misleading as this really does is install the
certbot client and its dependencies, and we generally want this to
always happen. If a host doesn't want it, they can override it in
their host vars.

Perhaps I should rename this variable to "bootstrap_letsencrypt" or
something so it is more accurate.

roles/php-fpm: Only create pools for vhosts that need PHP
Only vhosts running WordPress, etc need PHP. Make sure to set the
appopriate variables for each vhost in the host's vars, ie:

  nginx_vhosts:
    - domain_name:   example.com
      has_wordpress: True

    - domain_name:   example.net
      needs_php:     True

You can set either of them, but not both—needing WordPress implies
needing PHP.

group_vars/all: Disable TLS cipher suites using Triple DES
An attack on Triple DES was recently published[0]. It's not a very
high severity attack but the fact is that Triple DES is very old
and there are much better ciphers to use, like AES and ChaCha20.

I logged the ciphers that were negotiated on all of my vhosts over
a period of 72 hours and there were zero occurences of Triple DES,
so I am removing it, as suggested by the authors of the attack as
well as OpenSSL[1].

roles/common: Add a dedicated playbook for ntp tasks

8851f8f631 Revert "Only update packages indexes if the cache is 1 hour old"
This reverts commit 201165cff6.

Turns out this actually breaks initial deployments, because the
cache gets updated in the first task, then you add sources for
nginx and mariadb, but it doesn't update the indexes because the
cache is < 3600 seconds old, so you end up getting the distro's
versions of nginx and mariadb.

roles/mariadb: Use Ubuntu 16.04 (xenial) builds
When I originally deployed Ubuntu 16.04 there were no public xenial
MariaDB builds yet, so I used wily (15.10). Now there are official
xenial builds so we can use them instead.

Only update packages indexes if the cache is 1 hour old
I have added cache_valid_time=3600 for the first task in each
tag that could be possibly running apt-related commands. For ex,
the "nginx" tag is also in the "packages" tag, but sometimes you
run the nginx tag by itself (perhaps repeatadely), so you'd want
to limit the update unless the cache was 1 hour old

Pipelining makes ansible run tasks much faster, and as of Ansible
2.0 or 2.1 or so, it now works on older hosts that have requiretty
in their sudo config[0]. Also, disable the creation of those stupid
retry files.

The `timedatectl set-ntp on` command is actually just enabling the

module.

Revert "roles/nginx: Only run Let's Encrypt checks once a day"
This reverts commit a38d822fad.

The docs definitely recommend twice a day. From a note on certbot's
installation page:

> if you're setting up a cron or systemd job, we recommend running
> it twice per day (it won't do anything until your certificates
> are due for renewal or revoked, but running it regularly would
> give your site a chance of staying online in case a Let's
> Encrypt-initiated revocation happened for some reason). Please
> select a random minute within the hour for your renewal tasks.

roles/common: Remove 128-bit Ciphers and MACs from sshd_config
I had removed them from Debian 8 and Ubuntu 14.04 configs last year
when the NSA's Suite B crypto guidelines dropped 128-bit algorithms
but those changes didn't make it to my new Ubuntu 16.04 config.

It is probably overkill and paranoid, but this server is mine, so I
can make those decisions (and I only connect from modern clients).
