Slavi Pantaleev 9a9b7383e9 Completely redo how mxisd configuration gets generated
This change is provoked by a few different things:

- #54 (Github Pull Request), which rightfully says that we need a
way to support ALL mxisd configuration options easily

- the upcoming mxisd 1.3.0 release, which drops support for
property-style configuration (dot-notation), forcing us to
redo the way we generate the configuration file

With this, mxisd is much more easily configurable now
and much more easily maintaneable by us in the future
(no need to introduce additional playbook variables and logic).

Slavi Pantaleev 5135c0cc0a Add Ansible guide and Ansible version checks
After having multiple people report issues with retrieving
SSL certificates, we've finally discovered the culprit to be
Ansible 2.5.1 (default and latest version on Ubuntu 18.04 LTS).

As silly as it is, certain distributions ("LTS" even) are 13 bugfix
versions of Ansible behind.

From now on, we try to auto-detect buggy Ansible versions and tell the
user. We also provide some tips for how to upgrade Ansible or
run it from inside a Docker container.

My testing shows that Ansible 2.4.0 and 2.4.6 are OK.
All other intermediate 2.4.x versions haven't been tested, but we
trust they're OK too.

From the 2.5.x releases, only 2.5.0 and 2.5.1 seem to be affected.
Ansible 2.5.2 corrects the problem with `include_tasks` + `with_items`.

Slavi Pantaleev 76506f34e0 Make media-store restore work with server files, not local
This is a simplification and a way to make it consistent with
how we do Postgres imports (see 6d89319822), using
files coming from the server, not from the local machine.

By encouraging people NOT to use local files,
we potentially avoid problems such as #34 (Github issue),
where people would download `media_store` to their Mac's filesystem
and case-sensitivity issues will actually corrupt it.

By not encouraging local files usage, it's less likely that
people would copy (huge) directories to their local machine like that.

Slavi Pantaleev d28bdb3258 Add support for 2 more SSL certificate retrieval methods

having the playbook generate self-signed certificates for you.

With this, Let's Encrypt usage is no longer required.

Fixes Github issue #50.

Slavi Pantaleev 4fd8b66b6e Update documentation about email configuration (relayhost brackets)
Relay hostnames that have MX records are looked up by postfix
and the MX record's payload is used instead.

This special behavior may be undesirable, so we make sure to
point it out.

Slavi Pantaleev 2b2409bf1e Update documentation about email configuration
This makes it explicit that outgoing traffic (25/587) needs
to be let through, as well as documenting how to debug
other non-delivery issues.

Slavi Pantaleev 9dad4c7c2d Fix /.well-known/matrix/client for CORS
This is provoked by Github issue #46.

No client had made use of the well-known mechanism
so far, so the set up performed by this playbook was not tested
and turned out to be a little deficient.

Even though /.well-known/matrix/client is usually requested with a
simple request (no preflight), it's still considered cross-origin
and [CORS](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP/CORS)
applies. Thus, the file always needs to be served with the appropriate
`Access-Control-Allow-Origin` header.

Github issue #46 attempts to fix it at the "reverse-proxying" layer,
which may work, but would need to be done for every server.
It's better if it's done "upstream", so that all reverse-proxy
configurations can benefit.

Slavi Pantaleev 733b806833 Annotate certain features as optional/advanced
We've had some people get confused into installing
Matrix Corporal and having pain with that.

With this documentation change, we try to make it clearer
that it's an advanced feature not to be touched unless
you know what you're doing.

On a similar note, we also make sure other things are properly
labeled as "(optional)" and/or "(advanced)".
