Error on Debian on first check_mode run

[Al-thi]

Hello,

This role fails on Debian when playing the following tasks in check_mode on a fresh server :

- name: Configure the firewall service.
  service:
    name: firewall
    state: "{{ firewall_state }}"
    enabled: "{{ firewall_enabled_at_boot }}"

with the following error message :

fatal: [xxx]: FAILED! => {"changed": false, "msg": "Could not find the requested service firewall: host"}

because the firewall service unit file is not installed and therefore the service step fails.

I suggest adding the following line to this task to ignore check_mode errors :

  ignore_errors: "{{ ansible_check_mode }}"

I also had to ignore errors in the handler, for the same reasons.
