Reviewer's GuideAdds SUSE/openSUSE support to the PostgreSQL system role by introducing SUSE-specific vars, handling absence of postgresql-setup via direct initdb calls, generalizing certificate paths/permissions, and updating tests and metadata accordingly.

Hey - I've found 1 issue, and left some high level feedback:
- The new initdb tasks for booted/non-booted systems with and without postgresql-setup are nearly identical; consider consolidating them (e.g. via a single task with conditional command or a small include) to reduce duplication and keep the init logic in one place.
- In tests_custom_certificate.yml, the certificate name path is defined as
"{{ __postgresql_cert_directory }}//certs/postgresql_test"(double slash); this is likely unintended and should be normalized to a single/for consistency with other usages. - For the
initdbcommand invocations, consider quoting{{ __postgresql_data_dir }}in thecmdargument to avoid potential issues if the data directory path ever contains spaces or shell-special characters.

## Overall Comments
- The new initdb tasks for booted/non-booted systems with and without postgresql-setup are nearly identical; consider consolidating them (e.g. via a single task with conditional command or a small include) to reduce duplication and keep the init logic in one place.
- In tests_custom_certificate.yml, the certificate name path is defined as `"{{ __postgresql_cert_directory }}//certs/postgresql_test"` (double slash); this is likely unintended and should be normalized to a single `/` for consistency with other usages.
- For the `initdb` command invocations, consider quoting `{{ __postgresql_data_dir }}` in the `cmd` argument to avoid potential issues if the data directory path ever contains spaces or shell-special characters.
## Individual Comments

<code_context>
owner: postgres

+ - name: Ensure private key directory is traversable

</code_context>
<issue_to_address>
**🚨 issue (security):** Relaxing directory permissions with `mode: "o+x"` may be overly permissive for a private key directory.
This makes the key directory traversable by every local user, which is broader access than is appropriate for private key material. If you only need `postgres` to traverse it, consider restricting to owner/group (e.g. `u+rx,g+rx,o-x`) and ensuring `postgres` is in the right group, or use ACLs to grant access specifically to `postgres` instead of `others`.

The best way to get vars from the role into the test is to use include_role with tasks_from: set_vars.yml:
- name: Load postgresql role platform variables
include_role:
name: linux-system-roles.postgresql
tasks_from: set_vars.yml
public: trueThis will also get __postgresql_is_ostree and __postgresql_is_booted

Enhancement: add support for SUSE/openSUSE
Reason: The role fails with "command not found" when trying to initialize the database on SUSE.
