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.

Although the STIG requires that security patches and updates are applied when they are made available, this might be disruptive to some systems. Therefore, the tasks in the security role will not configure automatic updates by default.

Deployers can opt in for automatic package updates by setting the following Ansible variable:

security_rhel7_automatic_package_updates: yes

When enabled, the tasks install and configure yum-cron on CentOS and Red Hat Enterprise Linux. On Ubuntu systems, the unattended-upgrades package is installed and configured. On openSUSE Leap and SUSE Linux Enterprise systems, a daily cronjob is installed.
