7288a85e72 roles/common: Remove snaps on Ubuntu 20.04
The list of pre-installed snaps and system packages is different on
Ubuntu 20.04 than it was in previous LTS releases.

See: https://www.kevin-custer.com/blog/disabling-snaps-in-ubuntu-20-04/

roles/common: Use one task to remove Ubuntu packages
I had previously been removing some packages for security reasons,
then removing others because they were annoying, and yet *others*
because they were annoying on newer Ubuntus only. It is easier to
just unify these tasks and remove them all in one go.

On older Ubuntus where some packages don't exist the task will just
succeed because the package is absent anyways.

roles/common: Use blocks to tag children of dynamic tasks
When using dynamic includes, child tasks do not inherit tags from their
parents. You must tag the parent and each child task separately, or use
a block to group children and then apply a tag to a block.

See: https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/devel/porting_guides/porting_guide_2.5.html

roles/common: Use dynamic include_tasks for packages
Basically, when using conditionals or variables in your tasks you should
use include_tasks instead of import_tasks. The down side is that you now
need to tag all included tasks individually or with a block, unlike when
using static imports (tags are applied to all imported child tasks).

I would actually like to reduce this task to a single one that uses the
host's ansible_distribution variable, but Ansible 2.5.1 currently gives
the following error: ansible_distribution is undefined.

Update with_items loops to use new-ish "loop" keyword
Ansible 2.4 and 2.5 are moving away from specialized loop functions
and the old syntax will eventually be deprecated and removed. I did
not change the with_fileglob loops because I'm not sure about their
syntax yet.

Adjust playbooks for Ansible 2.4 import changes
Ansible 2.4 changes the way includes work. Now you have to use "import"
for playbooks and tasks that are static, and "include" for those that
are dynamic (ie, those that use variables, loops, etc).

roles/common: Add tasks to install tarsnap
Now that Tarsnap has official packages this is one less thing that
needs to be manually installed from source after bringing a machine
up.

Use Ansible's version_compare instead of doing math on strings
I'm surprised this worked all these years actually. Since Ansible
version 1.6 it has been possible to use the version_compare filter
instead of doing math logic on strings.

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.

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

roles/common: Use systemd's timedatectl for time stuff
Debian 8 and Ubuntu 16.04 use systemd, so we can make use of its
NTP stuff rather than using the standalone `ntp` package.

roles/common: Remove task which removes irqbalance
Prevailing wisdom is actually that this *can* help virtual hosts,
especially when the VM guest has multiple CPUs.
