'source' and 'target' descriptors confuse users of this module #10

Description

@billglick

Consider renaming these.

Here are some clearer alternatives that reflect the SSH roles more intuitively:

source - this host initiates SSH connections

  • rename to ssh_client or initiator

target - this host accepts SSH connections

  • rename to ssh_server or acceptor

Other naming ideas:

  • hostbased_initiator / hostbased_acceptor
  • ssh_trusted_host / ssh_trusting_host (if you want to emphasize trust direction)
  • ssh_auth_sender / ssh_auth_receiver

While these changes may never happen in this Puppet profile, keep these ideas in mind if/when we develop a similar Ansible role for the same functionality.
