      .New variable in the `postfix` RHEL system role: `postfix_files`

      The `postfix` RHEL system role now enables you to configure extra files for the Postfix mail transfer agent. For that purpose, you can use the following role variable:

      `postfix_files`:: Defines a list of files to be placed in the `/etc/postfix/` directory that can be converted into Postfix Lookup Tables if needed. This variable enables you to configure Simple Authentication and Security Layer (SASL) credentials, and similar. For security, encrypt files that contain credentials and other secrets using the Ansible Vault feature.

      As a result, you can use the `postfix` RHEL system role to create these extra files and integrate them in your Postfix configuration.

      For more details, see the resources in the `/usr/share/doc/rhel-system-roles/postfix/` directory.

      Enhancement: Added a means to configure extra files for Postfix

      Reason: Some config options require to pick up additional information from a file (e.g. with SASL credentials etc). This PR adds 'postfix_files', a simple means of creating these files and integrating them in the Postfix configuration.
