Major Hayden 6e761efc9c Move tasks to 'accounts' file 
Several tasks in the auth.yml file were actually more closely related
to accounts rather than authentication. This patch moves tasks from
the auth.yml into accounts.yml and adjusts the docs to match.

This should alleviate confusion and allow deployers to fine-tune
their Ansible playbook runs.

Although the STIG requires that all passwords have a maximum lifetime set, this can cause authentication disruptions in production environments if users are not aware that their password will expire. Therefore, this change is not applied by default.

Deployers can opt in for this change and provide a maximum lifetime for user passwords (in days) by setting the following Ansible variable:

security_password_max_lifetime_days: 60

The STIG requires that all passwords expire after 60 days.
