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.

roles/nginx: Harden security headers
Always add security headers, not just for successful HTTP response
codes. See the nginx `add_header` docs.

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/nginx: Only run Let's Encrypt checks once a day
I can't remember where I had seen it recommended to be twice a day,
but it seems overkill.

roles/nginx: Rework Let's Encrypt stuff
Take an opinionated stance on HTTPS and assume that hosts are using
HTTPS for all vhosts. This can either be via custom TLS cert/key
pairs defined in the host's variables (could even be self-signed
certificates on dev boxes) or via Let's Encrypt.

roles/nginx: Turn on tcp_nopush in nginx.conf
It seems tcp_nopush is meant to be used with sendfile in newer
versions of nginx.

roles/nginx: Add $request_method to nginx fastcgi_cache_key
nginx is caching HEAD requests, then when users come along and do
a GET request they get an HTTP 200 with no request body. It seems
setting fastcgi_request_methods to GET doesn't stop nginx from caching
HEADs, so for now just add the $request_method to the key.
