Missing Sudo Password (Linux OS Based)

Many of the CIS Linux OS based (section 5.x) roles remove the ability for sudoers to use the NOPASSWD option to enable elevated privileges.

The user (unless root) that is running the playbook on the target should have a password set and the playbook run accordingly to pass the become_password.

All repositories should now run a pre-req check to ensure that the user does have a password set and will fail if this is not setup.
