sshd_config validation fails with: Match Group' in configuration but 'user' not in connection test specification

Hi,

On Ubuntu, the role deploys fine with default settings. But with sftp_enabled: true, it fails on sshd_config creation at the validation step. Solved this as described in the dev-sec isse #188:

In version 2.0.0 the problem is solved.
