unattended-upgrades automatically downloads & installs security updates; just like cron-apt but even better.

Closes #54

unattended-upgrades package automatically downloads & installs security
updates. We've always been using cron-apt for automatic security
updates; unattended-upgrades also does the same thing but with more
features including auto-reboot which might come in handy when the kernel
is upgraded.

I'll test this soon. Worried about auto reboots, though. Also, we'll have to remove both the cron-apt roles and the packages and configs already on hosts...
