Switch from dict to individual variables 
The dictionary-based variables didn't work properly and this patch
changes them to individual variables. If users followed the existing
documentation, their environments will be unaffected by this change
(they are still broken).

The new variables follow the pattern `security_VARIABLENAME` which
will soon become the standard for the role to avoid variable name
collisions with other playbooks and roles.

Release notes are included with this patch.

Exception

The audit rules for monitoring deleted files can cause very high system load during OpenStack-Ansible deployments and during package updates using apt. It's recommended that deployers keep these rules disabled unless they're explicitly required.

These rules are disabled by default, but they can be enabled by setting the following Ansible variable:

security_audit_deletions: yes
