Slavi Pantaleev d08b27784f Fix systemd services autostart problem with Docker 20.10
The Docker 19.04 -> 20.10 upgrade contains the following change
in `/usr/lib/systemd/system/docker.service`:

```
-BindsTo=containerd.service
-After=network-online.target firewalld.service containerd.service
+After=network-online.target firewalld.service containerd.service multi-user.target
-Requires=docker.socket
+Requires=docker.socket containerd.service
Wants=network-online.target
```

The `multi-user.target` requirement in `After` seems to be in conflict
with our `WantedBy=multi-user.target` and `After=docker.service` /
`Requires=docker.service` definitions, causing the following error on
startup for all of our systemd services:

> Job matrix-synapse.service/start deleted to break ordering cycle starting with multi-user.target/start

A workaround which appears to work is to add `DefaultDependencies=no`
to all of our services.

Slavi Pantaleev 1fca917ad1 Replace some -v instances with --mount
`-v` magically creates the source destination as a directory,
if it doesn't exist already. We'd like to avoid this magic
and the potential breakage that it might cause.

We'd rather fail while Docker tries to find things to `--mount`
than have it automatically create directories and fail anyway,
while having contaminated the filesystem.

There's a lot more `-v` instances remaining to be fixed later on.
This is just some start.

Things like `matrix_synapse_container_additional_volumes` and
`matrix_nginx_proxy_container_additional_volumes` were not changed to
use `--mount`, as options for each one are passed differently
(`ro` is `ro`, but `rw` doesn't exist and `slave` is `bind-propagation=slave`).
To avoid breaking people's custom volume mounts, we keep it as it is for now.

A deficiency with `--mount` is that it lacks the `z` option (SELinux
ownership changes), and some of our `-v` instances use that. I'm not
sure how supported SELinux is for us right now, but it might be,
and breaking that would not be a good idea.

Chris van Dijk 6334f6c1ea Remove hardcoded command paths in systemd unit files
Depending on the distro, common commands like sleep and chown may either
be located in /bin or /usr/bin.

Systemd added path lookup to ExecStart in v239, allowing only the
command name to be put in unit files and not the full path as
historically required. At least Ubuntu 18.04 LTS is however still on
v237 so we should maintain portability for a while longer.

Slavi Pantaleev ae7c8d1524 Use SyslogIdentifier to improve logging
Reasoning is the same as for matrix-org/synapse#5023.

For us, the journal used to contain `docker` for all services, which
is not very helpful when looking at them all together (`journalctl -f`).

Slavi Pantaleev 316d653d3e Drop capabilities in containers
We run containers as a non-root user (no effective capabilities).

Still, if a setuid binary is available in a container image, it could
potentially be used to give the user the default capabilities that the
container was started with. For Docker, the default set currently is:
- "CAP_CHOWN"
- "CAP_DAC_OVERRIDE"
- "CAP_FSETID"
- "CAP_FOWNER"
- "CAP_MKNOD"
- "CAP_NET_RAW"
- "CAP_SETGID"
- "CAP_SETUID"
- "CAP_SETFCAP"
- "CAP_SETPCAP"
- "CAP_NET_BIND_SERVICE"
- "CAP_SYS_CHROOT"
- "CAP_KILL"
- "CAP_AUDIT_WRITE"

We'd rather prevent such a potential escalation by dropping ALL
capabilities.

The problem is nicely explained here: https://github.com/projectatomic/atomic-site/issues/203

Slavi Pantaleev 51312b8250 Split playbook into multiple roles
As suggested in #63 (Github issue), splitting the
playbook's logic into multiple roles will be beneficial for
maintainability.

This patch realizes this split. Still, some components
affect others, so the roles are not really independent of one
another. For example:
- disabling mxisd (`matrix_mxisd_enabled: false`), causes Synapse
and riot-web to reconfigure themselves with other (public)
Identity servers.

- enabling matrix-corporal (`matrix_corporal_enabled: true`) affects
how reverse-proxying (by `matrix-nginx-proxy`) is done, in order to
put matrix-corporal's gateway server in front of Synapse

We may be able to move away from such dependencies in the future,
at the expense of a more complicated manual configuration, but
it's probably not worth sacrificing the convenience we have now.

As part of this work, the way we do "start components" has been
redone now to use a loop, as suggested in #65 (Github issue).
This should make restarting faster and more reliable.
