This role performs an automated install of MATLAB on a Linux host. It can accomplish this either by copying a folder with the extracted contents of an install ISO to the host, or by mounting an NFS mount containing the extracted contents of an ISO image (see here for instructions about creating an offline installer via 7zip). It also creates a service user that owns all of the files installed by MATLAB installer.

Note: This role is not currently set up to add standalone licenses, although it can be adapted to do so.
matlab_install (string) : A relative path to the extracted MATLAB installer ISO within the files directory that should be copied to the host if you're not using NFS. Note that files is blacklisted in .gitignore.
matlab_installer_options (dict): Installation options based off installer_input.txt from the install ISO. These map isomorphically to the options in installer_input.txt. These should be overriden in a group_vars or host_vars file, since the defaults won't work.
matlab_products (list) : The Mathworks products that the installer should install. By default this is empty, since the installer will install. Only define this list if you want to whitelist the installation of certain toolboxes while blocking the installation of all others.
matlab_client_network_license (dict): A dictionary with 3 keys. fqdn is the FQDN for the license server, mac is the MAC address, and port is the port that FLEXnet is listening on.
matlab_nfs_src (string): The host:path combination that points to an NFS mount containing an extracted copy of the MATLAB installer ISO.
