The file should not be on the main domain as it adds unnecessary
complexity to the archweb role and there is a bigger chance that we
unintentionally break connectivity checking (which has happened in the
past[1][2]).

This doesn't remove the file from the main domain[3], as we need to ship
a updated NetworkManager package first.

Fix #239

To simplify the archive role, split it up in the web serving part for
the archive-mirrors, gemini and keep the archive role for only the
archive operation. This simplifies the new role as only two lines are
required to setup the the archive mirror website.

Setup Kape servers as archive mirrors (asia,europe,america), Gitlab
runner and Rebuilderd worker. All machines except runner1 are EFI
machines with grub setup and a EFI parition which is not supported by
our ansible install role and is manually rolled out.

We switched for monitoring to prometheus so zabbix-agent is unwanted and
we don't want to accidently deploy it again.

For our archive.archlinux.org website instead of always redirecting to
archive.org try if we have the file and fallback redirecting to
archive.org. This reduces the load on archive.org and makes our
reproducible builds downloads faster then archive.org. This also set's
up another archive mirror on archive.ger.mirror.pkgbuild.com

This is a new role for syncing the archive. Currently only ger.mirror.pkgbuild.com is capable of this due to disk space requirements. It can probably be extended fairly easily to other hosts.
