Major Hayden fa2800419e Migrate to unique variable names 
This patch migrates all of the remaining non-unique variable names
in the security role to a pattern that begins with `security_*`.
This will reduce potential variable collisions with other roles.

This is a breaking change for deployers and users who are moving
from the liberty or stable/mitaka branches to master. Release notes
are included with additional details to help with the transition.

Raw Blame History

The STIG requires that daemons have their umask set to 027 or 022. Since changing umasks can disrupt some systems, this is an opt-in change.

Deployers that want this change applied to their systems must set the Ansible variable security_umask_daemons_init to 027. The current default for Ubuntu 14.04 is 027 already, so deployers do not need to make any adjustments to Ansible variables to meet the STIG requirement.
