later we may want to distinguish dev vs host as well, tho eventually we expect not to have hard-coded machines anyway.
split off from #319.

Closes Fediversity/Fediversity#276
This PR adds a CLI deployment test. It builds on top of Fediversity/Fediversity#323. This test features a deployer node and four target nodes. The deployer node runs `nixops4 apply` on a deployment built with our actual code in `deployment/default.nix`, which pushes onto the four target machines combinations of Garage/Mastodon/Peertube/Pixelfed depending on a JSON payload. We check that the expected services are indeed deployed on the machines. Getting there involved reworking the existing basic test to extract common patterns, and adding support for ACME certificates negotiation inside the NixOS test.
What works:
- deployer successfully runs `nixops4 apply` with various payloads
- target machines indeed get the right services pushed onto them and removed
- services on target machines successfully negotiate ACME certificates
What does not work: the services themselves depend a lot on DNS and that is not taken care of at all, so they are probably very broken. Still, this is a good milestone.
Test it yourself by running `nix build .#checks.x86_64-linux.deployment-basic -vL` and `nix build .#checks.x86_64-linux.deployment-cli -vL`. On the very beefy machine that I am using, the basic test runs in ~4 minutes and the CLI test in ~17 minutes. We know from Fediversity/Fediversity#323 that the basic test runs in ~12 minutes on the CI runner, so maybe about an hour for the CLI test?

adds a deploy button to the panel form - covers the local part of #76.
As a workaround to pass info (from our user form) into nixops4 uses
environment variable `DEPLOYMENT` thru nix's
`--extra-experimental-features configurable-impure-env`.
For now, I created yet another deployment. Basically, this seems to tell me that we only ever use:
- one deployment per machine (when we change its configuration)
- one big deployment for all of them (eg. for nixpkgs updates or new contributor)
but that the current split into themes doesn't really work. I can discontinue it in another PR.
`fedi201` is accessible under `fedi201.abundos.eu`. Its configuration lives in `infra/fedi201/default.nix`. This Nix file is a NixOps4 resource module, not a NixOS configuration module; you probably want to add a `nixos.module` field to it where you put your NixOS configuration.
