Nicolas “Niols” Jeannerod ee5c2b90b7 Introduce test for deploying all services with nixops4 apply (#329)
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?
