Major Hayden 31424a42af Enable LSM instead of checking status
This patch enables the appropriate Linux Security Module (LSM) for the system
rather than simply checking it. This brings the role more in line with the
STIG requirements and allows it to be used as a more generic role in other
non-OpenStack-Ansible deployments.

It shouldn't affect OpenStack-Ansible deployments since AppArmor is expected
to be running in those deployments.

Documentation and release notes are included.

The Linux Security Module (LSM) that is appropriate for the Linux
distribution in use will be automatically enabled by the security role by
default. Deployers can opt out of this change by setting the following
Ansible variable:
.. code-block:: yaml
security_enable_linux_security_module: False
The documentation for STIG V-51337 has more information about how each
LSM is enabled along with special notes for SELinux.
