Various roles depend on this. It makes sense to make it part
of the `matrix-base` role.

Fedora 35 is:

- `ansible_os_family = 'RedHat'`
- `ansible_distribution_major_version = '35'`

Our RedHat checks against v7/v8 are really for RHEL derivatives (CentOS, Rockylinux,
AlmaLinux), but the same checks (by coincidence) apply for Fedora 35.

The problem is that `'35' > '7'` (comparing these as strings) is
`false`.

This patch makes sure that we always cast
`ansible_distribution_major_version` to an integer.

Not hardcoding 'CentOS' and using the OS family ('RedHat') instead,
we now behave better on Rockylinux and AlmaLinux, etc.

With that said, we may or may not fully support CentOS/Rockylinux/AlmaLinux v8 yet.
Certain things were improved in
https://github.com/spantaleev/matrix-docker-ansible-deploy/issues/300.

v8 support is discussed here: https://github.com/spantaleev/matrix-docker-ansible-deploy/issues/300
Certain things (firewalld?) may still be problematic. This patch does not try to address those.
If the remaining issues are confirmed to be fixed in the future, we can mark v8 as supported.

We're trying to move away from implementation-specific variables,
hoping for a clean (implementation-neutral) examples/vars.yml file.

Doing this seems more reasonable and simpler.

Also get rid of `--tags=update-user-password` in the
`matrix-dendrite` role, as what we had doesn't work.

We may be able to do it with some Ansible helper or something else.
For now, we'll omit this feature.

The goal is to have a single variable which tells us which homeserver
software is in use. Much simpler than having if/elif/elif checks for
variables like (`matrix_synapse_enabled` and `matrix_dendrite_enabled`, etc.)
everywhere.

We recently had someone need to inject additional configuration into
`/.well-known/matrix/client` as described here:
22b245bbd1/docs/bigbluebutton.md (have-dimension-create-meetings-with-elements-video-call-button)

There may be other use cases as well.

Seems like Ubuntu 18.04 does not have a dedicated `systemd-timesyncd` package, nor
does it include the `systemd-timesyncd` binary in the main `systemd` package.

These are just defensive cleanup tasks that we run.
In the good case, there's nothing to kill or remove, so they trigger an
error like this:

> Error response from daemon: Cannot kill container: something: No such container: something

and:

> Error: No such container: something

People often ask us if this is a problem, so instead of always having to
answer with "no, this is to be expected", we'd rather eliminate it now
and make logs cleaner.

In the event that:
- a container is really stuck and needs cleanup using kill/rm
- and cleanup fails, and we fail to report it because of error
suppression (`2>/dev/null`)

.. we'd still get an error when launching ("container name already in use .."),
so it shouldn't be too hard to investigate.

> WARNING: Error loading config file: .dockercfg: $HOME is not defined

.. which appeared in Docker 20.10.

I feel like timers are somewhat more complicated and dirty (compared to
cronjobs), but they come with these benefits:

- log output goes to journald
- on newer systemd distros, you can see when the timer fired, when it
will fire, etc.
- we don't need to rely on cron (reducing our dependencies to just
systemd + Docker)

Cronjobs work well, but it's one more dependency that needs to be
installed. We were even asking people to install it manually
(in `docs/prerequisites.md`), which could have gone unnoticed.

Once in a while someone says "my SSL certificates didn't renew"
and it's likely because they forgot to install a cron daemon.

Switching to systemd timers means that installation is simpler
and more unified.

Until now, we've only supported non-amd64 on Raspbian.

Seems like there are now people running Debian/Ubuntu on ARM,
so we were forcing them into amd64 Docker packages.

I've gotten a report that this change fixes support
for Ubuntu Server 20.04 on RPi 4B.

We were only defining this in `group_vars/matrix_servers`, which is
inconsistent with how we normally do things.
