Moved over the conditional to main.yml so it can be re-used if needed.

In version 9.0.0, a least privileged mode was introduced aromatically adding CAP_DAC_READ_SEARCH to the systemd unit file, which allows the forwarder to read all files on the filesystem, even it is running as a non-root user, therefore we don't need the configure_facl.yml task for those instances.
This feature is currently only available on the Universal Forwarder, therefore a full install will only be in least_privileged if it is running as root.
