docs(roles): explain what haveged/libmaxminddb/qemu_guest_agent actually do
The READMEs of these three roles only said "installs <tool>" plus a
link to upstream. For Linux System Engineers who haven't run into
the tool before, that's not enough to decide whether they need it.
Add a short paragraph to each README explaining what the tool is and
when you'd typically use it:
* haveged: userspace entropy daemon, mostly relevant on headless VMs
and older systems; mostly redundant on modern kernels with
getrandom() + virtio-rng.
* libmaxminddb: C library that reads MaxMind .mmdb GeoIP databases;
required at runtime by mod_maxminddb and other consumers.
* qemu_guest_agent: virtio-serial daemon that lets the hypervisor
trigger graceful shutdown, filesystem freeze/thaw for snapshots,
and query guest hostname/IP/network info.1 parent 43c550b commit 1555778
