Kevin Veen-Birkenbach 716ebef33b Refactor task includes and update variable handling for Ansible 2.20 migration

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.

Postfix

Description

This role installs and configures Postfix – a mail transfer agent – on the target system. It deploys a preconfigured aliases file (using a Jinja2 template) that defines mail redirections and standard aliases for local mail delivery.

Overview

Optimized for secure and reliable mail delivery, this role:

Installs Postfix via pacman.
Provides a default aliases file to route system mail appropriately.
Configures essential Postfix parameters via a templated main configuration file (if needed).

Purpose

The primary purpose of this role is to set up a robust mail transfer agent configuration for local mail delivery. It ensures that system-generated mail (such as error messages) is delivered to the correct administrative address.

Features

Postfix Installation: Ensures the Postfix package is installed.
Aliases Configuration: Deploys a default aliases file to direct system mail.
System Integration: Works in conjunction with the administrator user role for secure mail routing.
