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 STIG requires that a firewall is configured on each server. This might be
disruptive to some environments since the default firewall policy for
``firewalld`` is very restrictive. Therefore, the tasks in the security role
do not install or enable the ``firewalld`` daemon by default.
Deployers can opt in for this change by setting the following Ansible variable:
.. code-block:: yaml
security_enable_firewalld: yes
.. warning::
Deployers must pre-configure ``firewalld`` or copy over a working XML file
in ``/etc/firewalld/zones/`` from another server. The default firewalld
restrictions on Ubuntu, CentOS, Red Hat Enterprise Linux and openSUSE Leap
are highly restrictive.
