actions: Drop sudo based privileged actions
Tests:

- /usr/share/plinth/actions/actions is not installed.

- Code check works on plinth directory and container script only

- Provisioning a container does not add sudo configuration for actions. 'fbx'
user can perform 'sudo' operations.

- Make install does not install actions based sudo configuration. Admin users
can perform sudo operations.

- Exporting backup archive works. Validating a transmission directory works.
Some of the privileged operations works.

privileged: Don't isolate /var/tmp/ for privileged daemon
- Files from web service are uploaded to /var/tmp/ directory. They need to
accessible to privileged daemon to that it can move them to a target location.
So, if /var/tmp is isolated for privileged daemon, it can't see those files as a
separate tmpfs filesystem is mounted on that folder.

- Ideally, we should have PrivateTmp=yes and
JoinsNameSpacesOf=freedombox-privileged.service set on plinth.service. However,
this requires further changes to the way developer execution is done command
line. This is done in future.

Tests:

- Uploading a backup works.

- Uploading a kiwix archive works.

privileged: Add systemd units for socket activating the daemon
Tests:

- Daemon starts up with uid/gid set to root.

- Daemon does not run by default if a request is not received. Socket file is
  created with 666 permissions and root:root ownership. Socket file parent directory
  is created with 755 permissions and root:root ownership.

- Daemon starts if a request is sent to the socket using nc.

- If there an exception in daemon starting, then restart is done every second to
  5 seconds, forever.

- Build a Debian package.

  - Install it on fresh trixie Debian VM. Ensure that setup works and privileged
    daemon is auto-enabled.

  - Start a fresh trixie Debian VM and install freedombox from Debian repos.
    Upgrade to the built package. Privileged daemon works and is auto-enabled.

apache: Make all directory listings more mobile friendly
Closes #2256.

Based on a suggestion by Andrew Betts on the mailing list.
https://alioth-lists.debian.net/pipermail/freedombox-discuss/2022-August/009553.html

Sunil:

- Consolidate changes from various apps into a centralized place in
freedombox.conf applicable for all directory listings.

Tests:

- In Sharing, TiddlyWiki and FeatherWiki apps, directory listing when viewed
with Firefox Developer Tools Mobile view set to a Galaxy S20+ looks reasonable.
Without the patch the page is very zoomed out.

config: Allow better Apache default home page
- Don't redirect to '/index.html' when Apache Default is set as the home page.
This allows having other files such as 'index.php' as index file in
/var/www/html/.

- If the home page is currently set to 'Apache Default' upgrade the
configuration.

Tests:

- With Home page set to 'Apache Default' apply the patches. Config setup is
re-run. The configuration file becomes empty but is still present. Correctly
value is shown in the UI. /var/www/html/index.html is still shown as the home
page.

- With Home page set to 'Bepasty' apply the patches. Config setup is re-reun.
The configuration file is not modified. Bepasty is still shown as the home page.
Correctly value is shown in the UI.

- With Home page not modified apply the patches. Config setup is re-reun. The
configuration file is created. FreedomBox is the home page. Correctly value is
shown in the UI.

- On fresh machine with patches applied, perform first run. The configuration
file is not created. FreedomBox is the home page. Correctly value is shown in
the UI.

- Changing home page to Bepasty or 'Apache Default' works. Changing back to
'FreedomBox Service (Plinth)' also works.

service: Notify systemd when service starts up
- Run as a Type=notify service with systemd service.

- Notify systemd just before blocking in the main thread.

- This allows systemd to catch any errors with startup of the service and log
appropriately. This also allows clients depending on making DBus calls etc. to
know that service is ready to serve requests.

- This will increase the boot time slightly as systemd will wait until
FreedomBox service to become active.

- Raise an exception in main() during startup. Run 'systemctl start plinth'. No
error is thrown without this patch. With the patch, an error is shown.

apache: Fix logs still going into /var/log files
Closes: #2264.

- Set apache-auth fail2ban jail's backend to read from journal instead of
syslog. Tweak the regex matching to deal with the custom format.

- Adjust the apache error log format to remove unnecessary timestamp. It causes
problems for fail2ban regex matching.

- There was an error in the earlier patch the make apache log into journald.
Configuration for TLS sites still contained ErrorLog and CustomLog directives.
Remove them.

- There is also file with CustomLog directive that logs for other vhosts.

- For some reason, for custom error log format, %T - thread ID did not work and
had to switch to %{g}T global thread ID.

- Added journalmatch to improve performance by matching the regular expressions
against only specific journal entries.

Tests:

- In a container, apply the patch, run setup and start FreedomBox. Apache app is
updated to new version. Apache web server is reloaded. The
other-vhosts-access-log configuration is disabled.

- On a production machine, remove the directives in
freedombox-tls-site-macro.conf and disabling other-vhosts-access-log stopped the
logging into /var/log/apache2/ directory.

- Use TTRSS /tt-rss-app/ URL and type wrong credentials for 10 times. The client
is banned for 10 minutes. Repeat after unban. Client is banned again.

apache: Merge old configuration files into a better location
- It is simpler to keep all the configuration in a single file. Any overrides
are expected to be done by writing additional configuration files with higher
priority.

- /etc/apache2/site-available/ is typically reserved for virtual host
configurations. Redirections and proxying for all virtual hosts rather belongs
in /etc/apache2/conf-available/.

- This looses the option of disabling plinth-ssl.conf when needed. In the
initial days of enabling TLS, there was a need felt to keep the option of easily
disabling redirection to TLS in case there is a need for it. However, TLS
certificate setup is mature and the limitations are well understood. There is no
longer a need for it. It still may be possible to avoid the redirection with an
additional configuration.

Tests:

- In a fresh container, setup succeeds. Redirecting to https:// for /plinth
works. FreedomBox web interface is available.

- Without the patch applied created a container. Run setup and access Plinth
interface. Apply the patches. Apache setup is run. a2query -s plinth and a2query
-s plinth-ssl show that sites are not enabled. Redirecting to https:// for
/plinth works. FreedomBox web interface is available.

but not .onion domains.

cfg: Drop the default configuration file

defaults. This eases upgrades when configuration is edited. This also make
FreedomBox robust to deployments where /etc/ is not populated by default such as
OSTree. It is also a good practice for daemons as followed by the likes of
systemd.

- If the file partly populated only the values read override the defaults and
the remaining values don't change. This allows the user to write simpler
configuration file.

debian: Separate binary packages for each language manual
- When there are multiple binary packages, a common practice is to install into
  debian/tmp using the Makefile and then use dh_install and .install files. This
  splits the contents installed into debian/tmp to various package directories
  debian/{package}.

- Install documentation in to /usr/share/freedombox instead of
  /usr/share/doc/freedombox. Then create a link to /usr/share/doc/freedombox/.
  This approach is recommended Debian Policy Manual in section 12.3[1] because
  it should safe for administrator to delete files in /usr/share/doc safely
  without breaking the application functionality. The doc-base must refer to the
  documentation in /usr/share/doc as per doc-base documentation.

*: Update remaining misc files to use SPDX license identifier
None of the files are installed into /etc/. They will unconditionally override
older versions of themselves. They are not likely to cause any configuration
file prompts.
