Kevin Veen-Birkenbach 716ebef33b Refactor task includes and update variable handling for Ansible 2.20 migration

This commit updates multiple roles to ensure compatibility with Ansible 2.20.
Several include paths and task-loading mechanisms required adjustments,
as Ansible 2.20 applies stricter evaluation rules for complex Jinja expressions
and no longer resolves certain relative include paths the way Ansible 2.18 did.

Key changes:
- Replaced legacy once_finalize.yml and once_flag.yml with the new structure
  under tasks/utils/once/finalize.yml and tasks/utils/once/flag.yml.
- Updated all include_tasks statements to use 'path_join' with playbook_dir,
  ensuring deterministic and absolute file resolution across roles.
- Fixed all network helper includes by converting direct relative paths such as
  'roles/docker-compose/tasks/utils/network.yml' to proper Jinja-evaluated paths.
- Normalized MATOMO_* variable names for consistency with the updated variable
  scope behavior in Ansible 2.20.
- Removed deprecated patterns that were implicitly supported in Ansible 2.18
  but break under the more strict variable and path resolution model in 2.20.

These changes are part of the full migration step required to ensure the
infinito-nexus roles remain stable, deterministic, and forward-compatible with
Ansible 2.20.

Nginx HTTPS Certificate Retrieval

🔥 Description

This role automates the retrieval of Let's Encrypt SSL/TLS certificates using Certbot for domains served via Nginx. It supports both single-domain and wildcard certificates, and can use either the DNS or webroot ACME challenge methods.

📖 Overview

Designed for Archlinux systems, this role handles issuing certificates per domain and optionally cleans up redundant certificates if wildcard certificates are used. It intelligently decides whether to issue a standard or wildcard certificate based on the domain structure and your configuration.

Key Features

Single Domain and Wildcard Support: Handles both individual domains and wildcard domains (*.example.com).
DNS and Webroot Challenges: Dynamically selects the correct ACME challenge method.
Certificate Renewal Logic: Skips renewal if the certificate is still valid.
Optional Cleanup: Deletes redundant domain certificates when wildcard certificates are used.
Non-Interactive Operation: Fully automated using --non-interactive and --agree-tos.

🎯 Purpose

The Nginx HTTPS Certificate Retrieval role ensures that your Nginx-served domains have valid, automatically issued SSL/TLS certificates, improving web security without manual intervention.

🚀 Features

ACME Challenge Selection: Supports DNS plugins or webroot method automatically.
Wildcard Certificate Management: Issues wildcard certificates when configured, saving effort for subdomain-heavy deployments.
Safe Cleanup: Ensures that no unused certificates are left behind.
Flexible Control: Supports MODE_TEST for staging environment testing and MODE_CLEANUP for cert cleanup operations.
