move roles, files and templates dirs out of playbook dir into root dir
Because of how Ansible local relative search paths work, the global
"files" and "templates" directories need to be next to the playbooks.
However its not intuitive to look into the "playbooks" directory to find
the files and templates for a host.
Therefore move them out of the "playbooks" directory into the root
directory and add symlinks so everything still works.

Similarly for local roles, they also need to be next to the playbooks.
So for a nicer structure, move the "roles" directory out into the root
directory as well and add a symlink so everything still works.

# 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`](./meta/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.
