Slavi Pantaleev a9fae8e3b1 Revert "Use native OpenSSL module to generate passkey.pem"
This reverts commit 0dac5ea508.

Relying on pyOpenSSL is the Ansible way of doing things, but is
impractical and annoying for users.

`openssl` is easily available on most servers, even by default.
We'd better use that.

# Setting up Appservice IRC (optional)
The playbook can install and configure [matrix-appservice-irc](https://github.com/TeDomum/matrix-appservice-irc) for you.
See the project's [documentation](https://github.com/TeDomum/matrix-appservice-irc/blob/master/HOWTO.md) to learn what it does and why it might be useful to you.
You'll need to use the following playbook configuration:
```yaml
matrix_appservice_irc_enabled: true
matrix_appservice_irc_configuration_extension_yaml: |
# Your custom YAML configuration for Appservice IRC servers goes here.
# This configuration extends the default starting configuration (`matrix_appservice_irc_configuration_yaml`).
#
# You can override individual variables from the default configuration, or introduce new ones.
#
# If you need something more special, you can take full control by
# completely redefining `matrix_appservice_irc_configuration_yaml`.
#
# For a full example configuration with comments, see `roles/matrix-synapse/defaults/main.yml`
#
# A simple example configuration extension follows:
#
ircService:
databaseUri: "nedb://data" # does not typically need modification
passwordEncryptionKeyPath: "/data/passkey.pem" # does not typically need modification
matrixHandler:
eventCacheSize: 4096
servers:
irc.example.com:
name: "ExampleNet"
port: 6697
ssl: true
sasl: false
allowExpiredCerts: false
sendConnectionMessages: true
botConfig:
enabled: true
nick: "MatrixBot"
joinChannelsIfNoUsers: true
privateMessages:
enabled: true
federate: true
dynamicChannels:
enabled: true
createAlias: true
published: true
joinRule: public
groupId: +myircnetwork:localhost
federate: true
aliasTemplate: "#irc_$CHANNEL"
membershipLists:
enabled: false
floodDelayMs: 10000
global:
ircToMatrix:
initial: false
incremental: false
matrixToIrc:
initial: false
incremental: false
matrixClients:
userTemplate: "@irc_$NICK"
displayName: "$NICK (IRC)"
joinAttempts: -1
ircClients:
nickTemplate: "$DISPLAY[m]"
allowNickChanges: true
maxClients: 30
idleTimeout: 10800
reconnectIntervalMs: 5000
concurrentReconnectLimit: 50
lineLimit: 3
```
You then need to start a chat with `@irc_bot:{{ hostname_identity }}`
