Interestingly, no one has reported this failure before #662 (Github
Issue).

It doesn't make sense to keep saying that we support such old Ansible
versions, when we're not even testing on anything close to those.

Time is also passing and such versions are getting more and more
ancient. It's time we bumped our requirements to something that is more
likely to work.

I don't believe Ansible v1 would even go as far as executing this
sanity check, but.. Adding an extra defensive check for completeness.

Certain more-minimal Debian installations may not have
lsb-release installed, which makes the playbook fail.

We need lsb-release on Debian, so that ansible_lsb
could tell us if this is Debian or Raspbian.

Certain people organize their inventory in a different way
and we'd like to accommodate them.

We don't really need to fail in such a spectactular way,
but it's probably good to do. It will only happen for people
who are defining their own user/group id, which is rare.

It seems like a good idea to tell them that this doesn't work
as they expect anymore and to ask them to remove these variables,
which otherwise give them a fake sense of hope.

Related to #486 (Github Pull Request).

If one runs the playbook with `--tags=setup-all`, it would have been
fine.

But running with a specific tag (e.g. `--tags=setup-riot-web`) would
have made that initialization be skipped, and the `matrix-riot-web` role
would fail, due to missing variables.

No migration steps should be required.

Should help with #300 (Github Issue).

We've just updated it in the task above, so it's unnecessary

Since commit b9753635 the task 'Ensure docker-ce is installed (Debian)' fails with an error on CentOS although it should not even run on this OS.

With most people on Synapse v0.99+ and Synapse v1.0 now available,
we should no longer try to be backward compatible with Synapse 0.34,
because this just complicates the instructions for no good reason.
