Markos Chandras f422da8599 Add support for the openSUSE Leap distributions 
Add support for the openSUSE Leap distributions. The security rules
are similar to the RedHat and Ubuntu ones. We also replace
ansible_os_family with ansible_pkg_mgr since the former does not
return consistent results across different SUSE distributions especially
on older Ansible versions.

The default password storage mechanism for Ubuntu 16.04, CentOS 7, openSUSE Leap, SUSE Linux Enterprise 12 and Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7 is SHA512 and the tasks in the security role ensure that the default is maintained.

Deployers can configure a different password storage mechanism by setting the following Ansible variable:

security_password_encrypt_method: SHA512

Warning

SHA512 is the default on most modern Linux distributions and it meets the requirement of the STIG. Do not change the value unless a system has a specific need for a different password mechanism.
