Closes#839
See merge request ungleich-public/cdist!976
This patch joins all explorers in one to avoid starting multiple remote python
processes and uses a cdist-specific lock in /tmp/certbot.cdist.lock with a
60 seconds timeout.
This would fix#839
Certbot uses locking [1] even for read-only operations and does not properly
use exit codes, which means that sometimes it would print:
"Another instance of Certbot is already running" and exit with success.
However, the previous explorers would take that as the certificate being absent
and would trigger code generation.
The issue was made worse by having many explorers running certbot, so for N
certificates, we'd run certbot N*4 times, potentially "in parallel".

This patch joins all explorers in one to avoid starting multiple remote python
processes and uses a cdist-specific lock in /tmp/certbot.cdist.lock with a
60 seconds timeout.
It has been tested with certbot 0.31.0 and 0.17 that the:
from certbot.main import main
trick works. It is somewhat well documented so it can be somewhat relied upon.

Previously this type was falling back to using the deprecated apt-key(8) by
checking for existence of files/directories on the controller host in
gencode-remote.
Adding `--use-deprecated-apt-key` as an explicit boolean serves two purposes:
1. It prevents fallbacks that might end up doing the wrong thing
(as was the case)
2. It allows for a simple way to remove keys from the keyring that were
previously added with apt-key(8) to /etc/apt/trusted.gpg
This parameter is added marked as deprecated as is only intended use is to
migrate to directory-based keyrings as recommended by Debian for a few releases.
It will be removed when Debian 11 stops being supported.
During the review process of this merge request, it was noted that the state of
PGP Key Servers is somewhat suboptimal, that the examples encouraged bad
practise (it is trivial to produce collisions for short key IDs), and that
this use does not require the Web of Trust, but instead only the public key
that is signing the repository.
That is why this also adds `--source` as an argument allowing for in-type or
in-manifest provision of such public keys by the type/manifest maintainer and
the use of Key Servers is still supported, but discouraged.

For each object maintain parent-child relationship graph, i.e. list of
parent objects ('parents' property) and list of children objects ('children'
property).
Objects without parent(s) are objects specified in init manifest.
Objects without children are object of types that do not reuse other types.
