This parameterizes the HTTP Strict Transport Security header so we
can use it consistently across all templates. Also, it updates the
max-age to be ~1 year in seconds, which is recommended by Google.

The certbot-auto client that I've been using for a long time is now
only supported if you install it using snap. I don't use snap on my
systems so I decided to switch to the acme.sh client, which is imp-
lemented in POSIX shell with no dependencies. One bonus of this is
that I can start using ECC certificates.
This also configures the .well-known directory so we can use webroot
when installing and renewing certificates. I have yet to understand
how the renewal works with regards to webroot, though. I may have to
update the systemd timers to point to /var/lib/letsencrypt/.well-known.
Instead of looping over a list of items to install, we can actually
just give a list directly to the apt module. This allows the module
to install all packages in one transaction, which is faster as well
as slightly safer for some dependency resolution scenarios.
Instead of iterating over fifteen packages with a loop that does fifteen
separate apt transactions, it is better to give the apt module a list so
it can install them all in one transaction. This is both quicker and te-
chnically more safe for dependency resolution.

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.
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.
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).
For now I generated the certs manually, but in the future the play-
book should run the letsencrypt-auto client for us!

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.

A template is better than ansible's `apt_repository` module because
we can idempotently control the contents of the file based on vari-
ables.

Assumes you have a TLS cert for one domain, but not the others, ie:
http://blah.com \
http://blah.net -> https://blah.iohttp://blah.org /
Otherwise, without https, it creates a vhost with all domain names.
