r/base: Clear facts after installing python-selinux
If the Python bindings for SELinux policy management are not installed when Ansible gathers host facts, no SELinux-related facts will be set. Thus, any tasks that are conditional based on these facts will not run. Typically, such tasks are required for SELinux-enabled hosts, but must not be performed for non-SELinux hosts. If they are not run when they should, the deployment may fail or applications may experience issues at runtime. To avoid these potential issues, the *base* role now forces Ansible to gather facts again if it installed the Python SELinux bindings. Note: one might suggest using `meta: clear_facts` instead of `setup` and letting Ansible decide if and when to gather facts again. Unfortunately, this for some reason doesn't work; the `clear_facts` meta task just causes Ansible to crash with a "shared connection to {host} closed."btop
