 - Revert the ssl-cert change on the Ansible infrastructure scripts so that nginx uses a manually generated "snakeoil" TLS certificate

+- I started doing some tests to upgrade Elasticsearch from 7.6.2 to 7.7, 7.8, 7.9, and eventually 7.10 on OpenRXV
+  - I tested harvesting, reporting, filtering, and various admin actions with each version and they all worked fine, with no errors in any logs as far as I can see
+  - This fixes bunches of issues, updates Java from 13 to 15, and the base image from CentOS 7 to 8, so it's a decent amount of technical debt!
+  - I even tried Elasticsearch 7.13.2, which has Java 16, and it works fine...
+  - I submitted a pull request: https://github.com/ilri/OpenRXV/pull/126
