Use roles properly

Originally, I was including all role configurations for all hosts, and
controlling which get applied in the role configs with a check in each
file. This is a very repetetive and annoying approach. Instead, now the
role directory is included manually from the hosts config for devices
which meet that role, removing the role options.
