Major Hayden 088884c731 Ensure that doc linting is included in the linters test
The 'docs' tox target executes the doc8 lint test which may result in
failures when testing documentation builds, but OpenStack-CI does not
execute that tox target.

In order to ensure that we catch all standard documentation syntax
errors and prevent them from merging, this patch includes the docs
target in the 'linters' chain of tests.

Fixes for any failures which result from executing this test are also
included in the patch.

Although the STIG recommends disabling root logins via ssh, the default in this role is to allow it. The openstack-ansible deployment uses the root user by default at this time, but that may change later and allow for this configuration to be set.

To disallow root logins via ssh, simply adjust this configuration variable:

security_ssh_permit_root_login: 'no'

NOTE: The quotes around 'no' or 'yes' are very important. Ansible will treat no and yes as booleans by default and that will cause a True to land in your sshd configuration file. This will causes errors during sshd's startup.
