Yaroslav HalchenkoandGitHub 86f76cd3df Add codespell support (CI to check, not to fix) and make it fix a few typos (#10297)
Another token of gratitude for a super useful tool and service.

More about codespell: https://github.com/codespell-project/codespell .

I personally introduced it to dozens if not hundreds of projects already
and so far only positive feedback.

CI workflow has 'permissions' set only to 'read' so also should be safe.

ohemorangeandGitHub 16f858547f Add --use-pep517 flag to pip to silence warning in tools/venv.py, and switch codebase to src-layout (#10249)
Fixes #10252.

See further discussion here: https://github.com/pypa/pip/issues/11457

We are doing option:

> Alternatively, enable the --use-pep517 pip option, possibly with
--no-build-isolation. The --use-pip517 flag will force pip to use the
modern mechanism for editable installs. --no-build-isolation may be
needed if your project has build-time requirements beyond setuptools and
wheel. By passing this flag, you are responsible for making sure your
environment already has the required dependencies to build your package.
Once the legacy mechanism is removed, --use-pep517 will have no effect
and will essentially be enabled by default in this context.

Major changes made here include:
- Add `--use-pep517` to use the modern mechanism, which will be the only
mechanism in future pip releases
- Change to `/src` layout to appease mypy, and because for editable
installs that really is the normal way these days.
  - `cd acme && mkdir src && mv acme src/` etc.
- add `where='src'` argument to `find_packages` and add
`package_dir={'': 'src'},` in `setup.py`s
  - update `MANIFEST.in` files with new path locations 
- Update our many hardcoded filepaths
- Update `importlib-metadata` requirement to fix
double-plugin-entry-point problem in oldest tests

This PR adds `certbot-dns-cdmon` to the list of third-party plugins in
the documentation.

managed with cdmon's DNS.

d91e552491 renewal: by default, use a fraction of lifetime (#10207)
Previously we defaulted to renewing at 30 days before expiry, and
allowed users to customize the config file to set a different value.

Instead, we should renew when 1/3 of the lifetime is left, or for
shorter certificates (<10 days), when 1/2 of the lifetime is left.

This still allows explicitly configured values to take precedence.

Will Greenberg 84c8dbc52a Migrate master branch to main
We're a few years behind the curve on this one, but using "master" as a
programming term is a callous practice that explicitly uses the
historical institution of slavery as a cheap, racist metaphor. Switch to
using "main", as it's the new default in git and GitHub.

alexzorinandGitHub be3bf316c0 Deprecate {csr, keys} dirs & automatically truncate lineages (#9537)
Based on my design [here](https://docs.google.com/document/d/1jGh_bZPnrhi96KzuIcyCJfnudl4m3pRPGkiK4fTo8e4/edit?usp=sharing). 

Fixes https://github.com/certbot/certbot/issues/4634 and https://github.com/certbot/certbot/issues/4635.

- [x] Deprecate `NamespaceConfig.csr_dir`,`NamespaceConfig.key_dir`, ~~`constants.CSR_DIR` and `constants.KEY_DIR`~~. (`constants` is `_internal` so we can just delete it eventually).
- [x] Update `certbot.crypto_util.generate_csr` and `.generate_key` to make `csr_dir` and `key_dir` optional, respectively.
- [x] Change `certbot._internal.client.Client.obtain_certificate` to no longer include `csr_dir` and `key_dir` to the `.generate_csr` and `.generate_key` calls, respectively.
- Automatically delete unwanted lineage items:
  - [x] In `certbot._internal.storage.RenewableCert`, add a function to truncate the lineage history according to the criteria (keep the current and the 5 prior certificates). 
      - [x] Add a test suite for `truncate` 
  - [x] In `certbot._internal.renewal.renew_cert`, call the lineage truncation function after the symlinks have been updated for the renewal.


* Stop writing new files to /csr and /keys

* storage: add lineage truncation

* remove unused code

* deprecate keys_dir and csr_dir

* update CHANGELOG

* just keep 5 prior certificates, dont be clever with expiry

* docs: remove reference to /archive and /keys

* filter {csr,key}_dir deprecations directly in tests

alexzorinandGitHub 371cc6f9f1 docs: rewrite ecdsa section of user guide (#9465)
At the time this section was written, it was all about the introduction of support for ECDSA and how users can start taking advantage of that support.

Now that we use ECDSA by default, this piece of documentation probably should serve a new purpose. My idea here is to document the new behavior that we have in 2.0:  new key type on new certificates, old certificates will keep their existing key type.

Users may now be going in the reverse direction with their changes ("I got an ECDSA certificate but I need RSA because I have an old load balancer appliance!") so I have also updated some section titles to be less about ECDSA and more about Key Types in general.

Fixes #9442.
