Builds on top of #173; #173 should be merged first.

Closes #95

This PR upgrades the automated provisioning of Proxmox VMs, such that it is not
limited to test VMs anymore and can deploy all our VMs. Quite a few things
remain to be done:

  • The directory deployment/ doesn't contain much anymore, and what is contains
    is kinda broken.

  • (Related) I haven't updated my files that I use for testing of services such
    that they rely on this system yet, so they are broken too. This isn't much
    work, though, so I will just update them next time I need them.

  • The provisioning process is extremely clunky, with quite a bit of manual
    intervention required. It can be improved, but this is still a step forward
    compared to no provisioning process.

  • The code in infra/flake-parts.nix does some hacky things (in particular to
    obtain a NixOS configuration from a NixOps4 resource). It would be worth
    cleaning up (and doing so would partly improve the provisioning experience).

At this point in time, I don't think that it is worth spending more time on
this, though, and this PR still brings a neat improvement over the previous
state of things.

for the options that are ours; we want to avoid clashes if possible
- `fediversity.internal.garage` -> `fediversity.garage`
- all in the same place
...but not everywhere, there remains some FIXMEs where ultimately the
secrets do get into the store.
