9339d23aa1 Migrate extended/full/test-* tests from azure pipelines to github actions (#10631)
Related to https://github.com/certbot/certbot/issues/10581

Following up on #10622, this PR converts the `full-test-suite`
[pipeline](https://dev.azure.com/certbot/certbot/_build?definitionId=4)
from Azure to Github Actions.

Nightly test changes for context not included in this PR are available
[here](https://github.com/certbot/certbot/compare/test-convert-full-pipeline...convert-all-pipelines).

Since this branch is named `test-convert-full-pipeline`, these tests
will show up in the checks section of this PR.

The major changes I made here are splitting the docker and snaps tests
for a better github actions UX, and removing the intermediate "stage"
file, since stages are not a concept in GHA. This means that we get the
nice dropdowns for the different categories on the left bar of the [test
run
page](https://github.com/certbot/certbot/actions/runs/25139155528/job/73684692548)
so it's easier to see each type of test. The very slight drawback is
that the four jobs listed in `.github/workflows/full_test_suite.yml` do
need to be duplicated in `nightly.yml`, but that's a reasonable tradeoff
to me.

Also, we now test our certbot and dns plugin snaps on all architectures
for the first time (using `dpkg --add-architecture` to run armhf tests
on an arm64 machine), which is very nice and in my opinion worth the
very slightly extra time and code.

In this PR, we build arm64 and amd64 snaps directly on github's runners.
armhf snaps are built using launchpad as before. This makes the workflow
file a little long. There are perhaps some micro-optimizations for code
deduplication I could make, like creating an action to install
dependencies based on the architecture, but I don't think it's super
worth it, especially since the dependencies vary enough that we'd still
need some code (for example, even between installing deps for certbot
and dns runs, we'd still need to additionally install `nginx-light`).

A very slight potential time improvement we could make here would be to
optionally depend on the different architectures before running their
respective tests. I'm not sure if this can be done without writing
different jobs, and since once those jobs start they run in parallel, it
didn't really seem worth looking into for me. I am of course open to
alternate points of view here and in general.

Another potential change to bring the two build strategies more in line
would be to stop using the python script to send off all the launchpad
builds, and instead put each in a separate, matrixed job like the github
jobs. We could even continue retrying the builds within each job. This
would mean that if one dns plugin build happens to fail three times, all
the builds wouldn't have to be retried. While I think that's not the
worst idea, I personally think that belongs in a separate PR, as this PR
is already quite long.

Speaking of the PR length, I can undo the changes made here to build
arm64 and amd64 snaps on github actions, to have a simpler
conversion-only PR to review. Some of the choices I made here,
particularly around UX, were based on the fact that the jobs would look
like this, so it might not be as clear why I made those choices, but if
it's easier to review it's no problem to put it back. I could also
remove the code that tests the other snaps since it's new, but I figured
it'd be nice to show that they are in fact being built correctly, since
otherwise the built snaps wouldn't be consumed anywhere.

Certbot is part of EFFs effort to encrypt the entire Internet. Secure communication over the Web relies on HTTPS, which requires the use of a digital certificate that lets browsers verify the identity of web servers (e.g., is that really google.com?). Web servers obtain their certificates from trusted third parties called certificate authorities (CAs). Certbot is an easy-to-use client that fetches a certificate from Lets Encrypt—an open certificate authority launched by the EFF, Mozilla, and others—and deploys it to a web server.

Anyone who has gone through the trouble of setting up a secure website knows what a hassle getting and maintaining a certificate is. Certbot and Lets Encrypt can automate away the pain and let you turn on and manage HTTPS with simple commands. Using Certbot and Let's Encrypt is free.

Getting Started
---------------
The best way to get started is to use our `interactive guide <https://certbot.eff.org>`_. It generates instructions based on your configuration settings. In most cases, youll need `root or administrator access <https://certbot.eff.org/faq/#does-certbot-require-root-administrator-privileges>`_ to your web server to run Certbot.

Certbot is meant to be run directly on your web server on the command line, not on your personal computer. If youre using a hosted service and dont have direct access to your web server, you might not be able to use Certbot. Check with your hosting provider for documentation about uploading certificates or using certificates issued by Lets Encrypt.

Current Features
=====================

* Supports multiple web servers:

  - Apache 2.4+
  - nginx/0.8.48+
  - webroot (adds files to webroot directories in order to prove control of
    domains and obtain certificates)
  - standalone (runs its own simple webserver to prove you control a domain)
  - other server software via `third party plugins <https://certbot.eff.org/docs/using.html#third-party-plugins>`_

* The private key is generated locally on your system.
* Can talk to the Let's Encrypt CA or optionally to other ACME
  compliant services.
* Can get domain-validated (DV) certificates.
* Can revoke certificates.
* Supports ECDSA (default) and RSA certificate private keys.
* Can optionally install a http -> https redirect, so your site effectively
  runs https only.
* Fully automated.
* Configuration changes are logged and can be reverted.
