Refactored mail-related roles to support running Infinito.Nexus on nodes without a dedicated mail server:
- Introduced sys-svc-mail as central mail orchestration role.
- Split msmtp handling into sys-svc-mail-msmtp.
- Added sys-svc-mail-smtp to provide a localhost-only Postfix relay when Mailu is not present.
- Updated alert/health roles to use the new mail orchestration.
- Avoid installing postfix inside containers via IS_CONTAINER guard.
- Adjusted WordPress role to use the new msmtp template path.
This allows lightweight deployments (e.g. Raspberry Pi, robots, edge nodes) to send mail via localhost without requiring a full Mailu stack.

Refactor proxy/webserver configuration variables to a consistent webserver_* naming scheme across roles. Replace legacy variables like proxy_extra_configuration, client_max_body_size, vhost_flavour, location_ws and ws_port with webserver_extra_configuration, webserver_client_max_body_size, webserver_vhost_flavour, webserver_websocket_location and webserver_websocket_port. Update NGINX vhost and location templates (html, upload, ws, basic, ws_generic) as well as callers (sys-front-inj-all, sys-stk-front-proxy, various web-app-* and web-svc-* roles) to use the new naming.
Tighten docker-compose Git repository handling by making docker_git_repository_pull depend on docker_git_repository_address being defined, a string and non-empty. This avoids accidental Git operations when the repository address is unset or of the wrong type.
Refactor the BigBlueButton role structure and fix deployment bugs: introduce 01_core.yml to orchestrate docker/proxy setup, database seeding, websocket map deployment, docker-compose overrides and admin/bootstrap logic in a single once-executed entrypoint. Rename supporting task files (02_docker-compose.yml, 03_administrator.yml, 04_dependencies.yml) and update tasks/main.yml to delegate via include_tasks with run_once_web_app_bigbluebutton. Improve Greenlight admin creation behavior by treating the 'Email has already been taken' error as a non-fatal, unchanged outcome and running user:set_admin_role as a fallback, both for the primary password and the OIDC starred-password path.
Also standardize vhost flavour selection for services like Mailu, Discourse, CDN, Collabora, Coturn, OnlyOffice, Simpleicons and web-svc-logout by explicitly passing webserver_vhost_flavour where needed and aligning client_max_body_size and websocket configuration with the new webserver_* variables.

This change sets ansible_python_interpreter to /usr/bin/python3 when including
01_core.yml. It avoids permission issues when Ansible runs module-based tasks
as the non-privileged AUR builder user, since the virtualenv Python binary is
not executable for that user.

This commit updates multiple roles to ensure compatibility with Ansible 2.20.
Several include paths and task-loading mechanisms required adjustments,
as Ansible 2.20 applies stricter evaluation rules for complex Jinja expressions
and no longer resolves certain relative include paths the way Ansible 2.18 did.
Key changes:
- Replaced legacy once_finalize.yml and once_flag.yml with the new structure
under tasks/utils/once/finalize.yml and tasks/utils/once/flag.yml.
- Updated all include_tasks statements to use 'path_join' with playbook_dir,
ensuring deterministic and absolute file resolution across roles.
- Fixed all network helper includes by converting direct relative paths such as
'roles/docker-compose/tasks/utils/network.yml' to proper Jinja-evaluated paths.
- Normalized MATOMO_* variable names for consistency with the updated variable
scope behavior in Ansible 2.20.
- Removed deprecated patterns that were implicitly supported in Ansible 2.18
but break under the more strict variable and path resolution model in 2.20.
These changes are part of the full migration step required to ensure the
infinito-nexus roles remain stable, deterministic, and forward-compatible with
Ansible 2.20.

Why:
- Ansible 2.20+ deprecates INJECT_FACTS_AS_VARS and direct usage of top-level ansible_* facts.
- This change updates all affected roles and vars files to the new supported syntax.
- Ensures compatibility with upcoming Ansible 2.24 removal of implicit fact injection.
