add Languagetool (#144)
* add etke.cc languagetool v6.3-0 to requierements

* add languagetool to setup

* add LanguageTool to group_vars

* fix container_additional_networks var name

* add docs

* just a small clarification in the doc

* Fix incorrect closing role-specific comment

* Fix typos and improve wording on LanguageTool docs page

* Upgrade LanguageTool (v6.3-0 -> v6.3-1)

* Switch from languagetool_container_additional_networks to languagetool_container_additional_networks_auto

This is a new addition in LanguageTool v6.3-1

* Do not enable Traefik labels conditionally based on languagetool_hostname

This may have been appropriate for other roles, for which the hostname is optional, but not here.

For LanguageTool, `languagetool_hostname` is required.

* Fix languagetool section alignment

* Update languagetool.md with better explanation about n-gram data

# LanguageTool
[LanguageTool](https://languagetool.org/) is an open source online grammar, style and spell checker. Installing it is powered by the [etke.cc/roles/languagetool](https://gitlab.com/etke.cc/roles/languagetool) Ansible role and [Erikvl87/docker-languagetool](https://github.com/Erikvl87/docker-languagetool) docker image.
## Dependencies
This service requires the following other services:
- [Traefik](traefik.md) - a reverse-proxy server
## Configuration
To enable this service, add the following configuration to your `vars.yml` file and re-run the [installation](../installing.md) process:
```yaml
########################################################################
# #
# languagetool #
# #
########################################################################
languagetool_enabled: true
languagetool_hostname: mash.example.com
languagetool_path_prefix: /languagetool
########################################################################
# #
# /languagetool #
# #
########################################################################
```
In the example configuration above, we configure the service to be hosted at `https://mash.example.com/languagetool`.
You can remove the `languagetool_path_prefix` variable definition, to make it default to `/`, so that the service is served at `https://mash.example.com/`.
### Enabling n-gram data
LanguageTool can make use of large n-gram data sets to detect errors with words that are often confused, like *their* and *there*.
Learn more in [Finding errors using n-gram data](https://dev.languagetool.org/finding-errors-using-n-gram-data).
The **n-gram data set is huge and thus not part of the LanguageTool installation**. To make use of it with your own LanguageTool server, you may enable n-gram data and choose which languages to download n-gram data for.
For a list of languages for which the Ansible role supports downloading n-gram data, consult the `languagetool_ngrams_langs` variable in [the `default/main.yml` file](https://gitlab.com/etke.cc/roles/languagetool/-/blob/main/defaults/main.yml). Additional languages may be available. If the role doesn't have a download URL for them, consider redefining `languagetool_ngrams_langs` yourself with your own language-code to download URL mapping or submit a PR to the [languagetool Ansible role](https://gitlab.com/etke.cc/roles/languagetool).
```yaml
languagetool_ngrams_enabled: true
# See `languagetool_ngrams_langs` for a list of language-codes
# that the Ansible role supports.
languagetool_ngrams_langs_enabled: ['fr', 'en']
```
## Usage
After [installing](../installing.md), you can test your instance by making requests to [LanguageTool's HTTP API](https://dev.languagetool.org/public-http-api).
An example HTTP request can be made with [curl](https://curl.se/): `curl --data "language=en-US&text=a simple test" https://mash.example.com/languagetool/v2/check`
See the list of [software that supports LanguageTool as an add-on](https://dev.languagetool.org/software-that-supports-languagetool-as-a-plug-in-or-add-on) and set `https://mash.example.com/languagetool/v2` as the LanguageTool server (assuming you've installed at the `/languagetool` path prefix).
