Allow license files to be stored in custom src dir for better organization.
Retains backwards compatability by using `default` filter.

This should be when "'licensemaster' in group_names".
It does not seem that much thought was put in to the LM configuration. I think there should be a splunk_lm_key variable just like there is one for the idxc etc. even though this one is in the general stanza. The default value in main.yml can be splunk_lm_key: "{{ splunk_general_key }}", but it gives you the option to customize it based on the role.
If done this way, the pass4SymmKey value for the license peer, should also be changed to splunk_lm_key.

I'm not sure if it is a good way to only check when "'licensemaster' in group_names", because what if someone has an additional standalone server with it's own license. I think the naming licensemaster can than be misleading.
I do not agree with a new variable, as the licensing does not have an own pass4SymmKey. It uses the one under the general stanza. So changing the pass4SymmKey besides the splunk_general_key generates different configurations.
