This PR:
Greatly streamlines testing of pre-release and newly-released OS's like Ubuntu when Nodesource.com support (https://github.com/nodesource/distributions#deb and things like https://deb.nodesource.com/node_18.x/dists/) commonly and very annoyingly lag 1-2 weeks after the OS's release.
Cleans up Ansible messaging, with Intentionally Loud (RED) Ansible output to warn operators who choose to wipe Node.js (and possible npm too).
In-line explanations are greatly cleaned up too, with regex safety improvements and general refactoring to make roles/nodejs more future-proof, if not bulletproof.
Tested on Ubuntu 22.10 especially.
Building on:
