ansible role: akku warning

This ansible role installs a bash script (per cronjob) which is executed every 3 minutes. This bash script checks if the battery level is below 25 percent and is currently not charging. If this is the case, the program zenity installed by this role will generate a popup message stating that the battery is low. While the battery level is between 15 and 10 percent, it will also attempt to play a sound. But this does not (yet) work reliably.

This role is tested with the i3 - improved tiling wm, installed by this role at Archlinux, but probably will work on all window magers and the most operating systems!
