Support user defined processes

User defined processes are defined by new cdist beta command 'process'. Processes can be defined in `process` subdirectory in `$HOME/.cdist` or in custom directories specified through CDIST_PROCESS_PATH environment variable. `<path>/process` processes are defined in subdirectories, where a directory must contain `__init__.py` file to be recognized as a process, and it is then imported as a module. Since scanning and registering processes happens before cdist arguments are parsed, then standard cdist logging cannot be used in this stage. This is why CDIST_PROCESS_DEBUG environemnt variable turns on debug messages. Dummy example (`~/.cdist/process/homeprocess/__init__.py`): #!/usr/bin/env python3 # -*- coding: utf-8 -*- import logging import subprocess log = logging.getLogger(__name__) def register(parent_parser): parser = parent_parser.add_parser('cdist-help') parser.set_defaults(func=cdist_help) def cdist_help(args): cmd = [ "cdist", "-h", ] log.info("Running my process cdist help") subprocess.check_call(cmd)

-# cdist
-
-**cdist** is a usable configuration management system.
-
-It adheres to the [**KISS principle**](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/KISS_principle)
-and is being used in small up to enterprise grade environments.
-
-For more information have a look at [**homepage**](https://cdi.st)
-or at **``docs/src``** for manual in **reStructuredText** format.
-
-## Contributing
-
-Merge/Pull requests can be made in both
-[upstream **GitLab**](https://code.ungleich.ch/ungleich-public/cdist/merge_requests)
-(managed by [**ungleich**](https://ungleich.ch))
-and [**GitHub** project](https://github.com/ungleich/cdist/pulls).
-
-Issues can be made and other project management activites happen
-[**only in GitLab**](https://code.ungleich.ch/ungleich-public/cdist)
-(needs [**ungleich** account](https://account.ungleich.ch)).
-
-For community-maintained types there is
-[**cdist-contrib** project](https://code.ungleich.ch/ungleich-public/cdist-contrib).

-cdist-type__debian_backports(7)
-===============================
-
-NAME
----
-cdist-type__apt_backports - Install backports
-
-
-DESCRIPTION
-----------
-This singleton type installs backports for the current OS release.
-It aborts if backports are not supported for the specified OS or
-no version codename could be fetched (like Debian unstable).
-
-The package index will be automatically updated if required.
-
-It supports backports from following OSes:
-
- Debian
- Devuan
- Ubuntu
-
-
-REQUIRED PARAMETERS
-------------------
-None.
-
-
-OPTIONAL PARAMETERS
-------------------
-state
-    Represents the state of the backports repository. ``present`` or
-    ``absent``, defaults to ``present``.
-
-    Will be directly passed to :strong:`cdist-type__apt_source`\ (7).
-
-mirror
-    The mirror to fetch the backports from. Will defaults to the generic
-    mirror of the current OS.
-
-    Will be directly passed to :strong:`cdist-type__apt_source`\ (7).
-
-
-BOOLEAN PARAMETERS
------------------
-None.
-
-
-MESSAGES
--------
-None.
-
-
-EXAMPLES
--------
-
-.. code-block:: sh
-
-   # setup the backports
-   __apt_backports
-   __apt_backports --state absent
-   __apt_backports --state present --mirror "http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian/"
-
-   # install a backports package
-   # currently for the buster release backports
-   require="__apt_backports" __package_apt wireguard \
-        --target-release buster-backports
-
-
-ABORTS
------
-Aborts if the detected os is not Debian.
-
-Aborts if no distribuition codename could be detected. This is common for the
-unstable distribution, but there is no backports repository for it already.
-
-
-CAVEATS
-------
-For Ubuntu, it setup all componenents for the backports repository: ``main``,
-``restricted``, ``universe`` and ``multiverse``. The user may not want to
-install proprietary packages, which will only be installed if the user
-explicitly uses the backports target-release. The user may change this behavior
-to install backports packages without the need of explicitly select it.

 -----------
 Manages the list of keys used by apt to authenticate packages.

-This is done by placing the requested key in a file named
-``$__object_id.gpg`` in the ``keydir`` directory.
-
-This is supported by modern releases of Debian-based distributions.
-
-In order of preference, exactly one of: ``source``, ``uri`` or ``keyid``
-must be specified.
-

 REQUIRED PARAMETERS
 -------------------
@ -26,49 +18,21 @@ None.

 OPTIONAL PARAMETERS
 -------------------
-keydir
-   keyring directory, defaults to ``/etc/apt/trusted.pgp.d``, which is
-   enabled system-wide by default.
-
-source
-   path to a file containing the GPG key of the repository.
-   Using this is recommended as it ensures that the manifest/type manintainer
-   has validated the key.
-   If ``-``, the GPG key is read from the type's stdin.
-
 state
   'present' or 'absent'. Defaults to 'present'

-uri
-   the URI from which to download the key.
-   It is highly recommended that you only use protocols with TLS like HTTPS.
-   This uses ``__download`` but does not use checksums, if you want to ensure
-   that the key doesn't change, you are better off downloading it and using
-   ``--source``.
-
-
-DEPRECATED OPTIONAL PARAMETERS
------------------------------
 keyid
-   the id of the key to download from the ``keyserver``.
-   This is to be used in absence of ``--source`` and ``--uri`` or together
-   with ``--use-deprecated-apt-key`` for key removal.
-   Defaults to ``$__object_id``.
+   the id of the key to add. Defaults to __object_id

 keyserver
-   the keyserver from which to fetch the key.
-   Defaults to ``pool.sks-keyservers.net``.
+   the keyserver from which to fetch the key. If omitted the default set
+   in ./parameter/default/keyserver is used.

+keydir
+   key save location, defaults to ``/etc/apt/trusted.pgp.d``

-DEPRECATED BOOLEAN PARAMETERS
-----------------------------
-use-deprecated-apt-key
-   ``apt-key(8)`` will last be available in Debian 11 and Ubuntu 22.04.
-   You can use this parameter to force usage of ``apt-key(8)``.
-   Please only use this parameter to *remove* keys from the keyring,
-   in order to prepare for removal of ``apt-key``.
-   Adding keys should be done without this parameter.
-   This parameter will be removed when Debian 11 stops being supported.
+uri
+   the URI from which to download the key

-cdist-type__apt_pin(7)
-======================
-
-NAME
----
-cdist-type__apt_pin - Manage apt pinning rules
-
-
-DESCRIPTION
-----------
-Adds/removes/edits rules to pin some packages to a specific distribution. Useful if using multiple debian repositories at the same time. (Useful, if one wants to use a few specific packages from backports or perhaps Debain testing... or even sid.)
-
-
-REQUIRED PARAMETERS
-------------------
-distribution
-   Specifies what distribution the package should be pinned to. Accepts both codenames (buster/bullseye/sid) and suite names (stable/testing/...).
-
-
-OPTIONAL PARAMETERS
-------------------
-package
-   Package name, glob or regular expression to match (multiple) packages. If not specified `__object_id` is used.
-
-priority
-   The priority value to assign to matching packages. Deafults to 500. (To match the default target distro's priority)
-
-state
-   Will be passed to underlying `__file` type; see there for valid values and defaults.
-
-
-
-BOOLEAN PARAMETERS
------------------
-None.
-
-
-EXAMPLES
--------
-
-.. code-block:: sh
-
-   # Add the bullseye repo to buster, but do not install any packages by default,
-   # only if explicitely asked for (-1 means "never" for apt)
-    __apt_pin bullseye-default \
-       --package "*" \
-       --distribution bullseye \
-       --priority -1
-
-    require="__apt_pin/bullseye-default" __apt_source bullseye \
-       --uri http://deb.debian.org/debian/ \
-       --distribution bullseye \
-       --component main
-
-    __apt_pin foo --package "foo foo-*" --distribution bullseye
-
-    __foo # Assuming, this installs the `foo` package internally
-
-    __package foo-plugin-extras # Assuming we also need some extra stuff
