June 8bc60e42a8 Extend distribution_check role to account for Ansible changes reg. facts 
Somewhere between ansible [core 2.14.4] and ansible [core 2.15.0] the
logic for the distribution_version Ansible fact got changed. With the
newer Ansible version Debians distribution_version gets reported as 11.7
as opposed to getting reported as 11 with the old Ansible version. To
still allow for useful distribution checks, extend the
distribution_check role by allowing the specification of
distribution_major_versions and distribution_releases as well.
This way you can check for an Ubuntu version by using
distribution_version (which for example resolves to 18.04, while
distribution_major_version would resolve to 18 in that case) and check
for a Debian version by using distribution_major_version (which for
example resolves to 11, while distribution_version would resolve to 11.7
in that case).

Role distribution_check

This role checks if the distribution of the hosts is supported (part of the provided distribution support spec.) and fails if it's not.

If a hosts distribution and either an accompanying distribution version, major version or release is supported, the role doesn't fail for the host in question.

Required Arguments

For the required arguments look at the argument_specs.yaml.

hosts

The hosts for this role need to be the machines for which you want to make sure their distribution is supported.
