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 CREATE_HOME variable is set to yes by the tasks in the security role. This ensures that home directories are created each time a new user account is created.

Deployers can opt out of this change by setting the following Ansible variable:

security_shadow_utils_create_home: no

Note

On CentOS 7, Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7 systems, openSUSE Leap and SUSE Linux Enterprise 12, home directories are always created with new users by default. Home directories are not created by default on Ubuntu systems.
