roles/nginx: Add package deps for Let's Encrypt on Debian 9
Taken from running certbot-auto on a clean Debian 9 installation.

roles/nginx: Update nginx.conf.j2
This is to accomodate Debian's 9 nginx package, as it provides a
different system user/group than nginx.org's packages.

roles/nginx: Updates to accomodate Debian 9 (stretch)
There are currently no nginx.org builds for Debian 9, so we need to
use the package from Debian's repository. This package provides a
www-data user and group instead of an nginx one.

We can revert some of this after Debian 9 is released and official
builds come from nginx.org (though it might be useful to keep the
main nginx.conf as a template).

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.

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.

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/nginx: Add nginx signing key id to apt_key task
When you give Ansible the key id it will check if the key exists
before trying to download and add it. I got the long fingerprint
from `sudo apt-key finger`.

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/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: Add 'force=yes' to WordPress git repo clone
I never modify file in the git repo, but the WordPress updater does

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: 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).
