Use apt module instead of package
I tried to create a fresh nonprod deployment today on
continuous.staging.nonprod.chat.fennell.dev. However, the first step failed
because the apt command could not find borgmatic.
The solution was to run apt update before running apt install. Unfortunately,
ansible's package module does not have an option for this. Therefore, although
I would have liked to stick with "package" (to keep it general and away from
the specific of using "apt" as a package manager), I have switched back to
using the apt module so that the step can succeed without any manual
intervention on fresh install.
