'with_password' and associated macro "$PASSWORD" generate a random plaintext password and store it in

a file at a given filepath. If the file exists previously, "$PASSWORD"/'with_password' will retrieve its contents, behaving just like $FILE/'with_file'. Usage of variables like "${inventory_hostname}" in the filepath can be used to set up random passwords per host.
Generated passwords contain a random mix of upper and lower case letters in the ASCII alphabets, the
numbers 0-9 and the punctuation signs ".,:-_". The default length of a generated password is 30 characters.
This gives us ~ 180 bits of entropy. However, this length can be changed by passing an extra parameter.
This is how it all works, with an exemplary use case, which is generating a different random password for every
mysql database in a given server pool:
