Ansible role: kiosk

Creates a chromium website kiosk out of ubuntu server with a very light stack of X and openbox. Essentially, it creates two separate systemd services: one for running x environment (startx), and one for running chromium. Chromium is restarted upon exiting. Both services also start on boot. Adapted for touch screen interactivity.
