ba3004ef2b roles/common: Don't run rc.local task on Ubuntu 20.04
We haven't actually used rc.local since Ubuntu 16.04. Now anything
that we need to run at boot we can do with systemd anyways.

ef6ce2335e roles/common: Remove systemd-journald drop-in
Older Ubuntus originally didn't use a persistent journal, which was
somewhat of a surprise when looking at logs after a few months. Now
this does not seem to be an issue since Ubuntu 18.04. As for CentOS
I do not use that distro here so I don't need to care.

roles/common: Use a persistent systemd journal
The default systemd journal configuration on CentOS 7 and Ubuntu
16.04 does not keep journal logs for multiple boots. This limits
the usefulness of the journal entirely (for example, try to see
sshd logs from even two or three months ago!).

Changing the storage to "persistent" makes systemd keep the logs
on disk in /var/log/journal for up to 2% of the partition size.

roles/common: Use dynamic include_tasks for firewall
Use dynamic includes instead of static imports when you are running
tasks conditionally or using variable interpolation. The down side
is that you need to then tag the parent task as well as all child
tasks, as tags only apply to children of statically imported tasks.

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.

Import OS-specific vars from task in common role
We stopped being able to do dynamic includes from the playbooks around
Ansible 2.4.0.0 if I recall correctly. Instead we can create a task to
include the variables and make it always run by using the special tag.

For now the Debian and Ubuntu vars files are the same, but I will keep
them separate so that it is more flexible in the future.

Revert "Revert "roles/common: Use static imports for tasks""
This reverts commit 63c5477f85.

I'm actually still seeing this problem on Ansible 2.4.0.0 with Python
2.7.14.

Revert "Import OS-specific vars in tasks instead of play"
This reverts commit e30e4d4b1e.

I suspect this was a side effect of using Python 3 rather than an
issue in Ansible 2.4.0.0.

Revert "roles/common: Use static imports for tasks"
This reverts commit 5147f4029b.

I think this was a side effect of using Python 3, not a regression in
Ansible 2.4.0.0.

roles/common: Use static imports for tasks
Something seems to have happened as of Ansible 2.4.0.0 where this no
longer works. I suspect it is related to the major changes to static
and dynamic imports that landed around this same time.

In practice this achieves the same function, but without the "magic"
ability to use one task for different operating systems.

We make sure that this tasks always runs by using the special tag of
the same name.

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).

See: http://docs.ansible.com/ansible/devel/playbooks_reuse_includes.html

roles/common: Remove duplicate timezone task

roles/common: Use service module to enable systemd NTP client instead of timedatectl
The `timedatectl set-ntp on` command is actually just enabling the
systemd service anyways, so it's better we use Ansible's service
module.

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: Add sysctl template for Debian hosts
Note: I've only tested this on a Debian container, and you can't
set these sysctls on containers (the host controls them). To make
matters worse, there is no fact to make ansible skip this on hosts
that are running in containers. For now I will just skip it on
hosts that are "virtualization" servers... even though we actually
do have KVM running on Debian on real hardware. *sigh*
