+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #1990971 +++

Description of problem:

logging uses 
        - name: Purge original conf
          file:
            state: absent
            path: "{{ __rsyslog_config_dir }}/*"
trying to remove all files in the config directory - but this does not work - 
the ansible file module does not support wildcards, nor is there a way to tell the file module to remove all files in a directory _without also removing the directory_.

The recommended solution is to use `shell` with the `rm` command - `shell` will expand the wildcard as desired.

QE - for verification, you should use ansible-playbook -vv with one of the tests/tests_*.yml files - you should see output like this:

TASK [/home/rmeggins/linux-system-roles/logging/roles/rsyslog : Purge original conf] ***
task path: /home/rmeggins/linux-system-roles/logging/roles/rsyslog/tasks/main.yml:86
changed: [/var/lib/libvirt/images/f34-base.qcow2] => {
    "changed": true,
    "cmd": "set -euo pipefail\nrm -rfv /etc/rsyslog.d/*\n",
    "delta": "0:00:00.003040",
    "end": "2021-08-06 18:02:23.765563",
    "rc": 0,
    "start": "2021-08-06 18:02:23.762523"
}

STDOUT:

removed '/etc/rsyslog.d/21-cloudinit.conf'
... other files ...

The files removed may be different, depending on which test you run - the important thing is that you see files being removed
