Major Hayden c229c4318e Find files/dirs without valid owners [+Docs] 
This patch adds tasks that search the filesystem for files/directories
without a valid user or group owner. Running find is disruptive to some
systems, so this is disabled by default. The following controls are
covered:

  - RHEL-07-020360
  - RHEL-07-020370

Docs are included.

Searching an entire filesystem with find reduces system performance and might impact certain applications negatively. Therefore, the search for files and directories with an invalid owner is disabled by default.

Deployers can opt in for this search by setting the following Ansible variable:

security_search_for_invalid_owner: yes

Any files or directories without a valid user owner are displayed in the Ansible output.
