roles/nginx: Allow custom resolvers for TLS stapling
Allows to specify custom DNS resolvers for TLS stapling, with a default
of Cloudflare's public DNS servers.

roles/nginx: Default to Cloudflare public DNS for TLS stapling
No need to give Google even more data or free advertising by using
this as the default! In practice I always use the DNS servers from
the VPS provider anyways.

roles/nginx: Use explicity booleans for tests instead of "yes" and "no"
Better to be explict with booleans rather than being confused when
you mix up yes and "yes" with Ansible/Python testing of conditionals.

roles/nginx: use boolean for use_letsencrypt instead of string "yes"
This is very confusing when you forget about how Ansible/Python is
testing conditionals. Let's use actual booleans so it's more clear.

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: Allow usage of Let's Encrypt certs
Hosts can specify use_letsencrypt: 'yes' in their host_vars. For
now this assumes that the certificates already exist (ie, you have
to manually run Let's Encrypt first to register/create the certs).

Rename nginx_* variables underneath nginx_vhosts
It's just deduplication, since it's already obvious that the dict
is for nginx-related vars:

    - nginx_domain_name→domain_name
    - nginx_domain_aliases→domain_aliases
    - nginx_enable_https→enable_https
    - nginx_enable_hsts→enable_hsts

roles/nginx: Allow using self-signed TLS certs with dev hosts
Set `use_snakeoil_cert: 'yes'` in host_vars. This is good for dev
hosts where we don't have real domains or real certs. But everything
should have TLS.

roles/nginx: Move HTTP Strict Transport Security toggle to vhosts
This is really a per-site setting, so it doesn't make sense to have
a role default. Anyways, HSTS is kinda tricky and potentially dang-
erous, so unless a vhost explicitly sets it to "yes" we shouldn't
enable it.

Note: also switch from using a boolean to using a string; it is st-
ill declarative, but at least now I don't have to guess whether it
is being treated as a bool or not.

roles/nginx: Use Linode DNS servers for OCSP resolvers
I didn't realize Linode had DNS resolvers, but they are much closer
than anything else (obviously).

Here is OpenDNS:

    # mtr --report 208.67.222.222

And here is Linode's:

04e453df51 Revert "roles/nginx: Correct HSTS header in https template"
This reverts commit 5c7404d228.

'always' is legal in nginx >= 1.7.5:

If the always parameter is specified (1.7.5), the header field will be added regardless of the response code.

roles/nginx: Correct HSTS header in https template
Apparently the "always" syntax isn't used anymore (ever?), not sure
where I got it from but this definitely causes HSTS to not work.

6ccfdb99fa roles/nginx: Enable OCSP stapling
Reduces round trip time for clients. Note: I am using a certificate
chain in the `ssl_certificate' directive, so as I understand it, I
don't need to use an explicit trusted intermediate + root CA cert
with the `ssl_trusted_certificate' option. See the nginx docs for
more[0]. Addresses GitHub Issue #5.

Seems to be working, test with:

    $ openssl s_client -connect mjanja.ch:443 -servername mjanja.ch -tls1 -tlsextdebug -status

Look for "OCSP Response" with "Cert Status: good".

roles/nginx: Re-work vhost template to support HTTPS
Assumes you have a TLS cert for one domain, but not the others, ie:

    http://blah.com \
    http://blah.net  -> https://blah.io
    http://blah.org /

Otherwise, without https, it creates a vhost with all domain names.
