Slavi Pantaleev b222d26c86 Switch to managing cronjobs with the Ansible cron module
As suggested in #65 (Github issue), this patch switches
cronjob management from using templates to using Ansible's `cron` module.

It also moves the management of the nginx-reload cronjob to `setup_ssl_lets_encrypt.yml`,
which is a more fitting place for it (given that this cronjob is only required when
Let's Encrypt is used).

Pros:
- using a module is more Ansible-ish than templating our own files in
special directories

- more reliable: will fail early (during playbook execution) if `/usr/bin/crontab`
is not available, which is more of a guarantee that cron is working fine
(idea: we should probably install some cron package using the playbook)

Cons:
- invocation schedule is no longer configurable, unless we define individual
variables for everything or do something smart (splitting on ' ', etc.).
Likely not necessary, however.

- requires us to deprecate and clean-up after the old way of managing cronjobs,
because it's not compatible (using the same file as before means appending
additional jobs to it)

Slavi Pantaleev fb5115a544 Rename playbook variables so they are consistently prefixed
Pretty much all variables live in their own `matrix_<whatever>`
prefix now and are grouped closer together in the default
variables file (`roles/matrix-server/defaults/main.yml`).
