v2.2.1: Fix negative cache implementation

In v2.2.0, we introduced negative cache handling for proxies (#100). This implementation was not respecting defacto coding standards for var names. This release fixes this issue.

If you have already customized negative cache for some of your proxies, you'll need to rename the variables:
negativeCacheEnabled => negative_cache_enabled
negativeCacheTTL => negative_cache_ttl

v2.2.0: use latest versions (nexus and tools) and wider platform testing

---

edit: Please skip this version and use v2.2.1 which fixes var names for negative cache implementation (#100 => #107)

---

This one was painfull and long mainly due to a lack of time since spring. But finally, here it is. Thanks for your patience, I'll try to do better for the next ones, especially if I get any bug reports.

Thanks to @ThibaultLemaire, @vitkhab, @zahodi, @ror6ax for their contributions as well as @dannyk81 and @stuart-warren for code reviews and discussions.

Starting with this release:

• The role will install / upgrade to latest nexus version by default. To take advantage of this feature, you need to remove any configured nexus_version variable. You can still stick to a specific version by leaving the var filled with the relevant value.
• The tests are using the latest released ansible version and we will stick to it, fix any deprecation warning as we move on and use new feature if relevant. We will continue to update the min_ansible_version in meta/main.yml as we move on.
• Test are ran on a wider range of platforms on travis. Moreover, the groovy syntax check is now ran on each pull requests. Since this was done with parallel builds on travis, the build time is still very acceptable (~10mn)

• Feat: Support latest ansible version by default (#81)
• Feat: Add molecule tests for more platforms (#78, #79, #80, #82, #83, #85)

v2.1.3: Bugfix for latest nexus versions + some enhancements

This is the last release for 2.1.x. Starting with next release (2.2.0), we will:

• support the latest ansible version by default. If you need compatibility with ansible <= 2.2 you will have to stick to this release
• install the latest nexus version by default. (You will still be able to fix the nexus version with the nexus_version variable.)

Noteworthy changes in this release:

• Bug: fixed version comparison preventing installation of nexus >= 3.10 (#65, #64, #69, #71)
• Feature: add support for Rut Auth Header capability (#68, #70)
• Maintenance: fix nexus db restore path for the backup restore script (changed in nexus 3.11 - #72)
• Feature: Allow to download nexus packages from a custom URL (#73)
• Feature: Add support for removing users (#61)

About Backups

Up to version 1.8, backups were configured automagically at a hard coded time (21:00). This is not the case anymore and you will have to specify nexus_backup_configure: true in your playbook along with nexus_backup_cron if you don't want to rely on default (21:00).

If you used a previous version of the role to install a nexus instance and want to use this new backup feature, you should do the following manually on your instance before configuring backup:

• In nexus GUI, remove the db-backup task created by the previous role version
• As root or a sudo capable user on your system, remove the cron fired at 21:00 on script nexus-blob-backup.sh
• Configure backup in your playbook and run it.
