Ansible changes (#1781)

* Use env var for config location when saving (not default location)

* Consistent variable formatting for easy replacement with sed

* Remove unmaintained lemmy_dev and uninstall playbooks

* Simplify lemmy.hjson for ansible

* cleanup ansible playbook

* add separate playbook for updating lemmy config

* Revert "add separate playbook for updating lemmy config"

This reverts commit 0a970ae1da.
