Merge stateless idea with no local storage of public and private keys, support multiple interface per hosts using several groups (#29)

* merge stateless with no storage of local priv key

* Delete locally stored private key

* add reload module on update config file

* privatekey template is not used anymore

* remove all local keys priv and public

* use ansible_play_hosts instead of hardcoded vpn grp
should use the group in the play calling the role.
works fine when hosts bellong to several groups

* Clean tasks names

* add tag, and cleanup

* fix private key creation

* Support for mutliple wireguard vpn on same host
add inventory exemple in readme

* fix typo, add some comment on inventory

* add  wg-config tag to Check config:
allow  run  with -t - wg-config

* Update tasks/main.yml

Co-Authored-By: Robert Wimmer <2039811+githubixx@users.noreply.github.com>

* remove trailing whitespace

* Update templates/wg.conf.j2

 Changelog
 ---------
 
+**4.0.0**
+
+- While the changes introduced are backwards compatible in general if you stay with your current settings some variables are no longer needed. So this is partly a breaking change and therefore justifies a new major version.
+- Support multiple Wireguard interfaces. See README for examples (contribution by fbourqui)
+- Make role stateless: In the previous versions the private and public keys of the Wireguard hosts were stored locally in the directory defined with the `wireguard_cert_directory` variable. This is no longer the case. The variables `wireguard_cert_directory`, `wireguard_cert_owner` and `wireguard_cert_group` are no longer needed and were removed. If you used this role before this release it's safe to remove them from your settings. The directory that was defined with the `wireguard_cert_directory` variable will be kept. While not tested it may enable you to go back to an older version of this role and it should still work (contribution by fbourqui)
+- Reminder: `wireguard_cert_directory` default was `~/wireguard/certs`. Public and Private keys where stored on the host running ansible playbook. As a security best practice private keys of all your WireGuard endpoints should not be kept locally.
+
 **3.2.2**
 
 - remove unneeded `with_inventory_hostnames` loops (thanks to pierreozoux for initial PR)
