netdata/packaging: Binary distributions - clean up .DEB package generation process (#6465)

* netdata/packaging: [ci skip] reinstate dev branch to help testing

* netdata/packaging: [ci skip] Yes, make the right package choice on json-c for debian based distros..

* netdata/packaging: [ci skip] two more packages that differentiate on debian/ubuntu...............

* netdata/packaging: [ci skip] Add more package dependencies around building

* netdata/packaging: [ci skip] Introduce changelog generation technique for .DEB

1) Remove contrib/debian/changelog from gitignore, we want it in
2) Add variables to monitor latest release version and latest release date from git
3) Add a templated contrib/debian/changelog, that will be the starting point for our changelog generation.
   Either on stable release or nightly releases, we will be generating the logs since the previous release, to manage the content.
   Note: We might eventually take the effort to produce one large changelog and append each time the extra stuff
4) Add the steps to prepare the source and the changelog for building and execute the build

At this stage things should still be broken, but we should have come closer to a ready-to-build-the-package environment per distro

* netdata/packaging: [ci skip] Extract to specified directory, otherwise we dump it on a privileged folder using an unprivileged user (builder)

Also, a fix on sed command, missed the s keyword on the string
replacement

* netdata/packaging: [ci skip] Should be in-place replacement, use -i instead of -e

* netdata/packaging: [ci skip] wrong parameter usage

* netdata/packaging: [ci skip] factor out the two build commands to run as a single bundle. refactor trigger deb build script respectively

* netdata/packaging: [ci skip] Be sure to copy over the build script to the build path

* netdata/packaging: [ci skip] OCD - unnecessary s added

* netdata/packaging: [ci skip] Changelog generation should take place on the repo side, then copy it over to the destination (If that doesnt work well, will just provide a static link for changelog

* netdata/packaging: [ci skip] missed the ignore branch option
	Also, a nit on the gbp command

* netdata/packaging: [ci skip] link to the original path, then create symlink on build folder
                             Also, fix --since option

* netdata/packaging: [ci skip] Run replacement of changelog fields on the host, not on the container

* netdata/packaging: [ci skip] fix contrib path, you are no longer reading from container path

* netdata/packaging: [ci skip] fix version

* netdata/packaging: [ci skip] add dep

* netdata/packaging: [ci skip] fix changelog template

* netdata/packaging: [ci skip] Fix debian package build, we were looping through forever. Exclude contrib all together

* netdata/packaging: [ci skip] Add logic to gather all package related content from the container folder and push it for publishing

* netdata/packaging: [ci skip] fixes and nits
1) use the branch for the beta deployment
2) change the cp pattern

* netdata/packaging:[ci skip] add more debug info

* netdata/packaging: [ci skip] Adjust LXC directory permissions, so that the rest of the workflow can pull through

* netdata/packaging: [ci skip] Using expressions within double quotes doesnt work, use quotes only on the variable to avoid syntax warnings from shellchecking

* netdata/packaging: [ci skip] Update build deps

* netdata/packaging: Add runtime deps (hopefully)

* netdata/packaging: [ci skip] remove old distro

* netdata/packaging: [ci skip] dont let that space there, breaks the syntax

* netdata/packaging: [ci skip] missed one

* netdata/packaging: [ci skip] yank yank yank

* netdata/packaging: [ci skip] You missed www over there

* netdata/packaging: [ci skip] Remove broken distros (no container images). We will revisit the way to support multiple distros in a different way, lxc failed us

* netdata/packaging: Pull in go.d plugin, also fix chmod command to just pass the folder since with the -R doesnt require anything else

* netdata/packaging: [ci skip] Get cups, freeipmi and nfacct on

* netdata/packaging: [ci skip] pull different package in
