Hardening Framework releases updated Ansbile os-hardening and ssh-hardening

The Hardening Framework once again updates its framework’s Ansible modules, making them compatible with the new Ansible 2.0 release! But that’s not all. Next to bug-fixes and support for additional operating systems, this release focused on making the os-hardening and ssh-hardening roles more configurable.
