An Ansible role to create users. The use case is to replace setting up an LDAP
or NIS server. The role also installs sudo and creates a sudoers group that can
use sudo with a password. A password is also set if provided. For generating the
password hash needed, under Debian run: :code:`echo MyPassword | mkpasswd -m
sha-512 -s` and under OpenBSD run: :code:`echo MyPassword | encrypt`. If
provided, email alias and SSH authorized keys are set.
