Ansible request for workaround to cacerts in CentOS6 playbooks

[sxa]

Please put the name of the software product (and affected platforms if relevant) in the title of this issue

• Missing install
• Bug in ansible playbook
• Request for new playbook addition

Details:
Ansible playbooks are currently failing on CentOS6 due to the expiry of the root certificate that was used by LetsEncrypt. This has caused multiple problems¹ but critically it is no longer possible to update the docker build images because the playbooks won't work, meaning that any merged PRs that affect that system will not take effect.

I have looked at making some changes to address this in #2339 but it's rapidly getting to the point where it's just not a good idea. It will likely require openssl1.0.2 to be installed and used along with an appropriate CA store put in place, and python and possibly wget convinced to use the new one.

May be possible to use the CentOS7 source packages to resolve this ...
