ALB `bootstrap` group of tasks (similar to `common`) #36

Instead of the optional common, since with more OSs things can get complicated, a new, this time strongly recommended, group of tasks could be responsible for tasks that are really, really need on very start of a node, and may not be required to run so often.

One example would be a user, with gather_facts: no, be able to install at least the python on remote host, or get basic info of that could go wrong.

After this, maybe the idea would be make sure that, for the packages one node is interested in setup, all repositories that would need to be prepared already exist.

And then, maybe, the tasks related to create directories, that today are on non-subfolders like the tasks/alb-init.yml, could be moved to this group.

As MVP, this is the actual folder on v0.8.6-alpha:

The AP-ALB v0.8.x adaptations to support RHEL/CentOS 8 family and design changes to allow flexibility even for non-tested OSs #34 was the big reason for this group of tasks get on this way.
