      Enhancement: Add mssql_tools_versions variable to allow installing different versions of mssql-tools package.
      Add mssql_tls_self_sign variable for specifying whether self-signed certificates are used, applicable when users set mssql_tls_enable: true.

      Reason: Microsoft added a new version of the mssql-tools package - mssql-tools18. This package adds some new functionality, which is not backward-compatible with the previous versions, hence Microsoft added a new package mssql-tools18 instead of just bumping the version of mssql-tools.
      With mssql-tools18, when self-signed TLS certificates are used, it is required to set -C flag with sqlcmd to trust certificates.

      Result: You can set mssql_tools_versions to install version 17, 18, or both version in parallel. By default, the role now installs the newer mssql-tools18.
      With mssql-tools18, when you use self-signed TLS certificates, you must set mssql_tls_self_sign: true to make sqlcmd trust your certificates.
