METRON-259 Using 'any' for Snort's HOME_NETWORK
In some cases, Ansible is not yet aware of the 'tap0' interface when the
Snort deployment begins. This causes the deployment to fail with this error.
```
ERROR! ERROR! 'dict object' has no attribute u'ansible_tap0
```
It is not really necessary to set the HOME_NETWORK of Snort to the IP
address of the sniff interface. This needs to be customized for Snort on a
case-by-case basis for production deployments based on the target environment.
For demo and development purposes, `any` works just fine and is much simpler.
