Added before_include variable to RedHat section of fail2ban::config.

I found with using the latest version of your module that numerous iptables errors were being produced. For example:

fail2ban.action [4063965]: ERROR <iptables> -N f2b-ssh <iptables> -A f2b-ssh -j <returntype> <iptables> -I INPUT -p tcp -m multiport --dports ssh -j f2b-ssh -- stderr: "/bin/sh: iptables: No such file or directory\n/bin/sh: -c: line 1: syntax error near unexpected tokennewline'\n/bin/sh: -c: line 1: <iptables> A f2b-ssh -j <returntype>'\n"

As you can see there is a new line after fail2ban.action [4063965]: ERROR <iptables> -N f2b-ssh (I got a similar error for every jail I set up with the module). I was able to fix this by using the same variable that is in the Debian section of fail2ban::config in the RedHat section.

Hi there!

Thanks for reporting this issue. I'm curious what is your current setup to understand better which redhat release and fail2ban version is affected.

[rbdragon]

Hello,

Sure, our current set up is Scientific Linux 7.3 fail2ban 0.9.7 (both systemd and polling backends) Apache 2.4.6 and Nginx 1.12.2 (on different servers though) SSH 7.4p1 Ceph 12.2.4

Hi! I've finally got around to merging this. thanks for your work! it'll be part of the next release, 3.1, that I expect to produce somewhat soon.

[rbdragon]
