Motivation: local builds and deployments without ssh
Add a new interface `Host` which is implemented bei either `Remote` or `Localhost`
This simplifies all interactions with hosts. THe caller does ot need to know if the Host is remote or local in mot cases anymore
The documentation currently lists setting targetHost in the NixOS
configuration as a slower, but valid option. Especially for dynamic
values, this is the recommended way but it results in a lot of annyoing
warnings.
This lowers the warning level, so it will only get printed on --debug
Despite using `root` as the ssh user, `ssh-ng` still fails with:
`error: cannot add path '/nix/store/...' because it lacks a signature by a trusted key
`
This does not happen with `ssh` instead of `ssh-ng`
since this code is used as a default in the cli parser, we should not
crash on OSError because we wouldn't be abe to perform basic tasks such
as --help.
pathlib.Path("git+file:///foo").resolve() might resolve to urls like
PosixPath('/home/joerg/work/clan/clan-core/git+file:/foo'). If those
then actually exist, this can have weird behavior. We should in general
avoid changing directories for everything except for subprocess.run.
This is an attempt to reduce cognitive load when trying to understand the host related logic in run_machine_update.
The change should not affect behavior.
Done:
- make it very clear early on, that build_host == target_host if build_host is not set.
- rename some variables to make relations more clear
- remove `deploy_host` variable. unnecessary complexity
- remove `become_root` variable. After simplifying via boolean algebra, this boils down to `build_host == target_host`.
Fix the directory functionality of clan (clan.directory).
The python API interface was not able to distinguish if the directory
was set to anything other than `self.src`.
Breaking every command that relied on the clan directory, for example:
- `clan machines update`
- `clan machines update-hardware-config`
See more in #2906
This is the first step in fixing all those commands.
Individual command support and implementation will be implemented in
follow ups.
This now gives a clearer error than:

When not being in a flake.
Motivation: updating a machine fails, if it depends on a private github repo, as the remote will likely not be authenticated.
This adds a new flag `--fetch-local` to `clan machines update` which fetches all flake inputs prior to building, then uploads them to the build-host.
This also adds a new error message, when flake inputs could not fetched, to hint the user to use `--fetch-local`
