This introduces two new roles for managing the backup-server and hosts that we wish to back up. Firstly the "backup" role runs on hosts we wish to backup. This generates and configures a separate ssh key for running bup and installs the appropriate cron job to run the backup daily. The "backup-server" job runs on the backup server (or, indeed servers). It creates users for each backup host, accepts the remote keys mentioned above and initalises bup. It is then ready to receive backups from the remote hosts. This eliminates a fairly long-standing requirement for manual setup of the backup server users and keys; this section is removed from the documentation. testinfra coverage is added.

Setup backup server
This role configures backup server(s) in the
backup-server group to accept backups from remote
hosts.
Note that the backup role must have run on each host in
the backup group before this role. That role will create a
bup_user tuple in the hostvars for for each host consisting
of the required username and public key.
Each required user gets a separate home directory in
/opt/backups. Their authorized_keys file is
configured with the public key to allow the remote host to log in and
only run bup.
