Make login banner customizable 
This patch makes it easier for deployers to customize their login
banner and it also fixes some documentation bugs around how to
configure the graphical login banner.

The security role configures a login banner for graphical logins using dconf. Deployers can opt out of this change by setting the following Ansible variable:

security_enable_graphical_login_message: no

The message is customized by setting another Ansible variable:

security_enable_graphical_login_message_text: >
    You are accessing a secured system and your actions will be logged along
    with identifying information. Disconnect immediately if you are not an
    authorized user of this system.

Note

The space available for the graphical banner is relatively short. Deployers should limit the length of their graphical login banners to the shortest length possible.
